CloudFormation stack stuck in UPDATE_COMPLETE_CLEANUP_IN_PROGRESS

Question

Hello,
I'm using Serverless framework, and during a deploy, a lambda functions should be deleted. Everything went well, except the deletion of the lambda, and now no matter what I do, CloudFormation doesn't change its state from UPDATE_COMPLETE_CLEANUP_IN_PROGRESS.
I'm not using nested stacks.
Any idea how to fix it? 
This is pretty bad, very poor experience.

CloudFormation just completed the deletion. Took almost an hour! Unbelievable.
