Schedule node not working

[Luca2]

Hey, since the new update my workflow is not working anymore like it should be. The schedule node is not working. I scheduled it for every 8 hours but it only works when I execute it manually. Even though it is published.

is there anything I forgot?

Kind regards

Thank you

Hey @Luca2,

How did you confirm that it isn’t working?

Did you wait more than 8 hours after publishing? at least two cycles (up to 16 hours) to confirm?

This rpely might explain the logic:

Issue with scheduled workflows

Hi @Daanm7 This is interesting! I run quite a few schedule triggers myself, but i always like even numbers like 8h, 4h, 2h, 12h I finally have a good reason to stick with this habit With that in mind, here’s my guess as to what’s happening: What we likely expect: A rolling timer. “Run this workflow, wait 9 hours, run again.” What this trigger probably does: “Run this whenever the clock hour is divisible by 9.” Since 24 is not divisible by 9, the execution hours are like…

Just in case that’s correct (hope someone can confirm or correct it if it’s not).

Yes, I did

hmm what’s your n8n version?

I think I read something about this in the release notes, not sure if it’s related,
fixed in v2.4:

fix(core): Automatically re-publish workflow with new version on pull

So in the meantime, try updating to the latest version

I have the latest version. For new workflows the schedule node works but for older it didnt work.

Honestly idk, but if the new workflows are working and it’s urgent then copy the old workflow to a new one and keep the original as a backup (if you wanna keep the history) in case you find a solution.
