                            if (activeAjaxConnections != 1) {
                                xhr.abort();
                            }
                            activeAjaxConnections++;
                            //Show Loader....
                            $("#Ajax-Load-Image").css('visibility', 'visible');

                        },

    var lock_load = '1';
    var activeAjaxConnections = 1;
    var PageNumber = 2;

    $(window).scroll(function () {

        if ((Math.ceil($(window).scrollTop() - $(window).height()) * -1) <= getHeight() + 550) {
            if (lock_load === '1') {

                var xhr = $.ajax({
                    type: "POST",
                    async: true,
                    dataType: "json",

                                xhr.abort();
                            }
                            activeAjaxConnections++;

Answer 1

Try flags Before making ajax call set flag to true and after ajax call is made set flag to false, finally on completion of ajax request again set flag to ture

var ready = true;
    $(window).scroll(function(){
      if(ready == true){
        ready = false;
        $.ajax({
            url: "/pagination",
            cache: false,
            success: function (response){
               //response
            }
        }).always(function () {
            ready = true; //Reset the flag here
        });
      }
    });

Answer 2

use the below code, use a simple flag variable that will be set to false by the defualt, that is to say that ajax call is not occuring once if condition is met then it will set to true to say that ajax call has started, once the success: or error: call back fires the variable will be set to false so that another ajax call can be made.

  startedAjax = false;

  if (lock_load === '1') {
                startedAjax = true;
                var xhr = $.ajax({
                    type: "POST",
                    async: true,
                    dataType: "json",
                    url: ajaxurl,

                    data: ({
                        beforeSend: function (xhr) {
                            if (activeAjaxConnections != 1) {
                                xhr.abort();
                            }
                            activeAjaxConnections++;
                            //Show Loader....
                            $("#Ajax-Load-Image").css('visibility', 'visible');

                        },
                        type: "POST",
                        action: 'Ajax_Get_SpacesAndSponsors',
                        Page: PageNumber
                    }),
                    success: function (response) {
                        startedAjax = false //set is false
                        PageNumber++;
                        var Message = response.spaces.Message;

                        console.log(response);
                        console.log(Message);
                        Draw_SpacesAndSponsor(response);
                        lock_load = response.spaces.Lock_load;
                        activeAjaxConnections--;
                    },
                    error: function (errorThrown) {
                           startedAjax = false; 
                        alert(errorThrown);
                 }

                });
            }
        }
    });
