django query running forever and not timing out

I have some django applications that is killing my mysql server there are queries that are running and not timing out and clogging my mysql server

Just need help on how to resolve this issue the proper way not sure if this is how django is designed or i need to add a timeout settings i thought django should do this by default, not sure because makes zero sense to have this with no timeout

Here are the queries that are not timing out or closing

This is just a copy of what i currently have, those queries keeps on running for a long time and till i restart mysql server and they start again and keep running and eventually they clog up cpu and i/o on the server

Below are some of the content in settings.py file

SESSION_COOKIE_AGE = 60*60*24*365*5 
SESSION_ENGINE = 'webapp.sessions.backends.db' 
SESSION_SAVE_EVERY_REQUEST = True


# 'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware', 
'webapp.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware', 
# 'django.contrib.sessions', 
'sessions',

What do i do to fix this?

Thanks
