AWX scheduled execution does not execute at the specified timing.

I created a job in AWX that runs on a schedule every 169h. The first three times it ran according to the schedule I had set up, but then it ran at a different time than the scheduled timing.

NAME    start   end
job_1   10/18/2024, 2:00:05 PM  10/18/2024, 2:14:53 PM
job_2   10/25/2024, 3:00:25 PM  10/25/2024, 3:13:30 PM
job_3   11/1/2024, 4:00:11 PM   11/1/2024, 4:12:21 PM
job_4   11/8/2024, 4:00:20 PM   11/8/2024, 4:03:00 PM

I would like to confirm if this is a bug in AWX.

AWX Version: 21.0.0

It seems it goes from 169 to 170h between your job_2 and job_3 and then 168h between job_3 and job_4.
Weird question but are you in a timezone (like France) where time has changed on october the 27th ?

Else, at the time when job_4 was launch, didn’t you have another playbook running too long that “delay” your job_4 ?

EDIT:
It seems there’s some related issue in the past large numbers of schedules cause a delay at dispatcher startup time · Issue #3912 · ansible/awx · GitHub
