Hi there,
I scheduled my work flow to run every 150 seconds, but it ignores my settings and runs every minute instead. Also it runs up to 3 the same time, which I want to avoid, that’s why I set to 150 seconds.
Did I miss anything ?
Settings:
Runs:
I am running n8n Version 1.68.0 community edition.
Thanks

### Bug Description
When configuring the Schedule Trigger with an interval long… er than 60 minutes (for example, 65 minutes), the workflow still triggers every 60 minutes, precisely at the start of each hour (:00 minutes). This behavior suggests that the scheduler might be incorrectly resetting or rounding the timer interval, causing the trigger to align with the beginning of the hour instead of respecting the set interval.


### To Reproduce
1. Create a new workflow in n8n.
2. Add a Schedule Trigger node.
3. Set the interval to a value greater than 60 minutes (e.g., 65 minutes).
4. Activate the workflow and monitor the trigger times.
5. Notice that the workflow triggers every 60 minutes exactly at :00 minutes instead of every 65 minutes.
Workflow example:
```json
{
"nodes": [
{
"parameters": {
"rule": {
"interval": [
{
"field": "minutes",
"minutesInterval": 65
}
]
}
},
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.scheduleTrigger",
"typeVersion": 1.2,
"position": [

"id": "62e7eb09-3879-4541-ba79-505ecb56dd3b",

}
],
"connections": {
"Schedule Trigger": {
"main": [
[
{
"node": "test",
"type": "main",

}
]
]
}
},

}
}
```
### Expected behavior
The workflow should trigger based on the defined interval (e.g., every 65 minutes) from the moment of the first execution, without being aligned to the start of the hour.
