Will implement such a feature.

The run time from 23/Jul has been drifting from 23:00 to 01:56 and today it ran at 12:06 * FYI I’ve set the interval at 1440 minutes. * Cheers. * Plugin Author [TMM Technology](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tmmtechnology/) * (@tmmtechnology) * [2 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/specify-time-to-run/#post-16969723) * [@loyukfai](https://wordpress.org/support/users/loyukfai/) Strange indeed. We are using the Action Scheduler’s interval feature, and we don’t have fine-grained control over the interval execution, as it has an enqueue and priorities mechanism built-in within (executing tasks with higher priorities first). I see 2 potential reasons why this issue might happen for you:1. Some other tasks were running with the higher priority and the enqueue became available only at 12:06 (if this is the case, you will find many tasks in Tools -> Scheduled Actions for that night)2. Or maybe the site did not get any visitors during the night (in this case, you will find no or just a few tasks for that night).I suppose that is # 2 and your site simply get no / not enough visitors that night.You can try setting up a server-side CRON job to visit your site every hour, I think that will help. If it does not help, then I can add a setting to the plugin to set the higher task priorities for the warming intervals.Here’s how to setup a CRON job, if needed: [https://chat.openai.com/share/34509d2e-1ab4-4aeb-8f6f-dae53ba5b9d3](https://chat.openai.com/share/34509d2e-1ab4-4aeb-8f6f-dae53ba5b9d3) * Thread Starter [loyukfai](https://wordpress.org/support/users/loyukfai/) * (@loyukfai) * [2 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/specify-time-to-run/#post-16974983) * Am using an hourly cron job for trigger WP maintenance tasks so it’s probably not related to the visitor issue… * Plugin Author [TMM Technology](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tmmtechnology/) * (@tmmtechnology) * [2 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/specify-time-to-run/#post-16990872) * [@loyukfai](https://wordpress.org/support/users/loyukfai/) Maybe you could check action scheduler for that day, and then I could tell for sure. But these were only suggestions. So I suppose if there were other tasks that ran that night, but not CW, then it’s something with priorities, and some higher prio tasks were running for the whole night. But I would like you to verify it, and if so, I can add a setting to tweak prios. - This reply was modified 2 years, 8 months ago by [TMM Technology](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tmmtechnology/). - This reply was modified 2 years, 8 months ago by [TMM Technology](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tmmtechnology/). * Thread Starter [loyukfai](https://wordpress.org/support/users/loyukfai/) * (@loyukfai) * [2 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/specify-time-to-run/#post-16992855) * Thanks a lot for the suggestion!

But I hope you did not experience this issue any more with 12h lag and all was smooth. * Thread Starter [loyukfai](https://wordpress.org/support/users/loyukfai/) * (@loyukfai) * [2 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/specify-time-to-run/#post-17130911) * It seems the start times still fluctuates due to the different total run times. * A set timer would be nice! * Cheers. * Plugin Author [TMM Technology](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tmmtechnology/) * (@tmmtechnology) * [2 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/specify-time-to-run/#post-17140696) * [@loyukfai](https://wordpress.org/support/users/loyukfai/) It fluctuates due to the nature of Action Scheduler. Set timer will not help, as we still will use WP-standard of scheduling (Action Scheduler). It’s just about enqueues and priorities. Just curious, how much does it fluctuate for you?
