How to set schedule trigger in relation to the last execution

Describe the problem/error/question

I’m trying to execute a workflow every 45 minutes. This is working related to the actual hour, but not in relation to the last execution. That’s why it’s executed for example 12:45 and 13:00 again, when the next one should be 13:30 instead.

What is the error message (if any)?

There is no error, but it is executed to often.

Please share your workflow

Share the output returned by the last node

Hey @mokkin , I’m afraid you would need to use 4 schedules to achieve what you want - each running every 4th hour and starting at 0,1,2,3 hour respectively. It is just how cron works. You also would have to use custom cron expression.
