Scheduled trigger bug

kdenes · March 25, 2025, 9:06am

Hello,

The scheduled triggered run on different time.

Setup:
Trigger Interval: Days
Days Between Triggers: 1
Trigger at Hour: 5am
Trigger at Minute: 0

Execution logs:
24 Mar at 10:00:06
23 Mar at 10:00:06
22 Mar at 10:00:06

First I thought the time zone, but when I run manually the the time exactly the same like my computer time:

n8n → 25 Mar at 08:33:16
my computer → 25 Mar at 08:33:16
droplet date is in utc timezone (-1) → Tue Mar 25 07:33:16 UTC 2025

N8n running as selfhost.
n8n version: 1.82.3

Any idea what can be the root cause and how to fix it?

What do your workspace settings have for TZ? https://app.n8n.cloud/manage

Another place to look into is specific workflow’s settings.

Thanks. Modified the default and workflow timezone. I think this will solve it

Hi, newbie here.
I have mine set to 0 */4 * * * but it’s not triggering.

Hey @Dandz and welcome to the community!

I think you have a different problem. This topic was about time difference between expected and actual execution time, not about non-execution.

You need to start a new topic for your problem to not to confuse the future readers.
