## Describe the problem/error/question I have two workflows with a daily schedule trigger. One of them is not working at all. Although I deactivated the node/flow (with a short break) nothing works for me. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/n8n/original/3X/a/f/af370a6cf02ac88c0bdbbbaf5b1da06e67ffc136.png) ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/n8n/original/3X/8/1/81c619ddb97c7300903d552975370915b37373eb.png) I have set my Timezone for the workflow correctly The second also runs on a daily basis and is supposed to run at 11:15, but triggers at around 6pm or sometimes never. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/n8n/original/3X/f/a/fa2a765994a7394224eaeb03269521b28a90d941.png) The triggers that are supposed to run every e.g. two minutes work perfectly fine. I’m only having trouble with the daily ones. ## What is the error message (if any)? None ## Please share your workflow Trigger 1 Trigger 2 ## Share the output returned by the last node None ## Information on your n8n setup - **n8n version:** 1.119.2 (older versions didn’t work as well) - **Database (default: SQLite): default** - **n8n EXECUTIONS\_PROCESS setting (default: own, main): default** - **Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): Docker(Compose)** - **Operating system: Debian (Raspberry Pi OS)** ---

Hey @Schwalbi ! I feel you… had same issue and I switched to Custom Cron(and never had any issue so far). Set Trigger Interval to Custom (Cron), ennnter the following cron expression: 15 11 \* \* \* This means: at minute 15, hour 11, every day. Give it a try! > [@Schwalbi](#): > > have set my Timezone for the workflow correctly You can set the timezone globally for the instance, for individual workflows, or both. If you do not set it for a workflow, the instance (global) timezone is used. ---

Hi @Parintele_Damaskin, thanks for you advice, I suspected that I might have to use the custom cronjob. I have set the timezone for both workflows individually. Hope they fix it one day 😃 ---
