View submission: Scheduled Posts are not working
Okay u/Starwhisperer! I think I sorted out the issue and we should good to go here! u/oakgrove, you were exactly right—for recurring posts that were scheduled for late in the day (next day in UTC), we were picking the wrong date for the first post. So if you scheduled a post to occur on a Monday evening, the scheduler which operates in UTC would schedule the first post for Sunday—the day that it thought was Monday. Meanwhile, all subsequent posts *would* be scheduled correctly*.
Additionally, the schedule was being resubmitted on each update to the post. So when u/oakgrove edited the collections on Friday, the schedule was resubmitted. This in turn caused the Monday and Tuesday posts to fire on Sunday and Tuesday accordingly.
Please let me know if you have any questions about this, or if you see any more weird behaviors! And thank you all for helping me get to the bottom of this!!
