cron not running as scheduled

Hi there and thanks in advance for help

I've seen various posts regarding this but can't find an answer within them. The most recent run was manual 45 minutes after the scheduled run.

Cron is 0 21 * * *, should be running every night at 10pm my local time

I had this running perfectly hourly when i was at my PC, but when my PC was shut down overnight the job hadnt run.

Any advice on how to ensure the schedule persists and i dont need to keep checking it would be great

You mention running hourly but your cron runs daily at 21:00 UTC?
can you provide a little more clarity here?

yeah it didnt run last night so i ran it manually 45 minutes late which is why it appears successful

maybe it was a fluke, if it happens once more, report back and I will escalate this to the team

i cant find my previous ticket unfortunately, but i expect it isnt a fluke as the behaviour is identical to a 6hourly cron i deployed a few months ago

if you're easily able to see my previous tickets you might find a similar ticket

it just seemed that i wanted to trigger the bot to run as i would manually at specific times through the day

bots need to run 24/7 if you want to limit when your bot responds that needs to be done through code, absolutely do not use cron for this
