Describe the problem/error/question

After the latest update 1.41.1, the Schedule Trigger node no longer respects the Cron Expression field.

Define the following expression “20 * 6-20 * 1-5” more after the n8n update is running outside the parameters.

The image below demonstrates the configured node and execution logs.

Hi @hlf :wave:

What running time were you expecting? From your expression I read that the node should trigger an execution at every hour and 20 mins, between the 6th and 20th of every month, including, and from Mon-Fri. Is this what you idealised?

I have a question and the same problem that occurred with @hlf … Can someone here help or provide the best solution? Thank you so much.

Exactly, that’s what was supposed to work. But after the update it only runs every 20 minutes and disregards everything else like 6 am to 20 pm and Monday to Friday.

See below the executions that should run from 6 am to 20 pm

@c0u1r perhaps a workaround would be to go back to previous versions where the problem did not occur. That is if your need is very urgent.

Hi @mariana-na :wave:

I made a mistake due to lack of attention when building the cron expression, the correct expression would be “20 6-20 * * 1-5” (At minute 20 past every hour from 6 through 20 on every day-of-week from Monday through Friday).

I noticed in your understanding where I noticed my mistake, thank you!

Check your expression because, like me, you may have made a mistake when writing it.

If you want to put your cron here and tell me how you want to run it, maybe I can help you resolve it @c0u1r
