A scheduled job didn't run
Why a job missed its window — and how to confirm the schedule and the scheduler are healthy.
Last updated July 17, 2026
#Run through these
- Is the job enabled? Disabled jobs never run on schedule.
- Is there a next-run time? A blank next-run on the Jobs page means the schedule isn't enabled or saved.
- Is the scheduler running? Check System Status — a stopped scheduler is the most common cause of “nothing ran last night.”
- Was the host on? A host that slept or rebooted at the scheduled time misses the window entirely (no run appears in Logs).
- Clock and time zone. Schedules fire in the host's local time — confirm both are correct.
- License lapsed? If paid features reverted, some jobs may not run — check Licensing.
#Isolate it
Use Run now. If a manual run works but the schedule doesn't, it's a schedule or scheduler problem; if the manual run fails, read the error in Logs and treat it as a job failure.
