Hy @koral
Thanks for reporting it, I created a card for the webteam to handle it, I hope they can do something about it today!!

Is there any update?

Hy Koral, sorry for not getting back, we checked out the issue, and it seems to be a one time bug :thinking: my older setups work fine and a new set up worked as it should as well. so there was no card created at the end.

If I understand correctly what is happening and you didn’t fix anything then issue will reappear on next DST transition (in October in Europe). You need to have timezone which observes DST set at the time of setup and do the check after transition to or from DST to reproduce this issue.

For example, that linked app was set up when there was no DST, after transition to DST build schedule time has changed.

Hy Koral, so we realised in the mean time, that in the US the time change is several weeks after then in Europe, and that is why this issue is an issue, I updated the card and set a higher prio so it will be fixed before winter :upside_down_face:

I don’t know what is the logic behind that, so I may be wrong.
From the observed effects I guess that build trigger uses UTC under the hood and only when hours and minutes need to be displayed on the web UI they are converted to local times using timezone provided by the browser.
So in my case: I scheduled my trigger few months ago to 05:00 (AM) (in Europe/Warsaw timezone, which was GMT+1 then), now it is 06:00 (because currently there is a DST and offset changed to GMT+2). If I change my timezone to Asia/Tokyo it will be 13:00.
They all represent the same moment in time. However, I expect that build will be always triggered at the same hour in local time in timezone of which it was scheduled.

Uh we will definitely investigate this.
