## Schedule Triggers with wrong frequency I set _Schedule Trigger_ with trigger interval = DAY, days between triggers = 1. instead of triggering once today at set time, it triggered every minute! Here’s trigger rules: ![Screen Shot 2023-12-07 at 9.52.14 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/n8n/original/3X/8/4/8402c161cf6ce4f4740535fd036be4e1ea6cb2ef.png) And here’s trigger frequency: ![Screen Shot 2023-12-07 at 9.51.55 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/n8n/original/3X/5/d/5dd23175d466ffffbfe627e6d9e64cb82152aefd.png) What might be the problem here and how can I fix it? ## Information on your n8n setup n8n Version 1.8.2 Community Edition ---

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable. - **n8n version:** - **Database (default: SQLite):** - **n8n EXECUTIONS\_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):** - **Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):** - **Operating system:** ---

in my experience restarting the docker container fixed weird trigger behaviour.(like multiple executions) ---

Hey @A_App, I have not been able to reproduce this, Was the schedule ever set to 1 minute maybe for testing? ---

I fixed it by adding exact minute at which it should be triggered. Now it triggers precisely at specified time. ---

I missed that trigger at minute was empty, We should set that as a required field or default it to 0 if empty. ---
