Hello everyone!

I'm using Appwrite Cloud and I have a function that runs every day at 00:00 UTC. Preciously it worked fine, but it didn't fire last night and it's stuck as "Scheduled" as status.

Anyone else noticed the same?

TL;DR
Developers having issues with function scheduling on Cloud. Function sometimes doesn't run at scheduled time. One developer uploaded function again and set CRON setting without redeploying, suspecting it may be the problem. Mentioned trying to trigger function using external service as a potential solution. After forcing a redeploy, function ran correctly. Created GitHub issue for bug. Requested verification of the function running correctly at midnight UTC.

It still didn't run today. â˜šī¸

Steps to reproduce:

Schedule a function using chron: 0 0 * * *, which was taken from the example documentation (https://appwrite.io/docs/products/functions/execution#schedule).

It should run at midnight, but it simply doesn't run.

Created an issue on GitHub for this bug:

Current status. This function should run at 00:00 UTC.

Tomorrow I'll be back here and report if it ran.

What I did do differently this time is forcing a redeploy after changing the CRON settings. Maybe that made a difference.

I'll test this some more the next days. 😊

If it's stable, then great. 👍đŸģ Another solution I have in mind is the following:

I make the function accessible trough an URL and trigger it by using an external service. I found www.fastcron.com that seems to be able to do this.

My function ran correctly again today. 👍đŸģ👍đŸģ

Now the ultimate test: I'll upload my function again and then set the CRON setting, without forcing a redeploy afterwards. Lets see what happens. I suspect that is the problem.
