Hey @AnujPrakash20

Please make sure you have TZ set in your container to ensure the timezone is correct and try 0 30 11 * * * if you want 11:30 daily.

Another option could be to the schedule options to set every 1 day at 11:30 which should also work.

@Joffcom I have the similar problem

In n8n, I have a workflow with a scheduler Node configured to run every 5 minutes. The issue is that:

After some time, the workflow suddenly stops executing completely, as if the scheduler no longer triggers it.

To make it run again, I have to deactivate and then reactivate the workflow manually.

@Joffcom same issue here, self hosted Version 1.112.5. Schedule Trigger with cron */10 * * * * to fire at every 10th minute just stopped working after some recent updates. It was working fine for about 8 months. Tried deactivating and activating, replacing nodes with new Schedule Trigger node from the right panel, deactivating all other workflows, does not help. Using predefined Trigger Intervals with something like Minutes Between Triggers = 10 does not work either.

When the workflow is deactivated this shows up in logs:
2025-09-25T13:43:20.363955742Z Deregistered all crons for workflow
2025-09-25T13:43:21.236364962Z Deregistered all crons for workflow
2025-09-25T13:44:08.887166743Z Deregistered all crons for workflow
2025-09-25T13:55:58.779384832Z Deregistered all crons for workflow
2025-09-25T13:56:00.211137334Z Deregistered all crons for workflow
2025-09-25T13:56:49.978823319Z Deregistered all crons for workflow

However, when you activate a workflow with some cron based scheduling, no any messages about re-registering crons for a workflow.
