Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. I see the screenshots. The cron 0 8 * * 1-5 should only run on weekdays, but Run History shows weekend runs too.

This is a known issue. When updating a cron schedule, the old entries in the scheduler weren’t fully replaced, so they kept piling up. The server-side fix is already deployed, but for existing automations you need to force an update:

  • Open the automation settings
  • Make any small change (for example, change the time and then change it back)
  • Save

This should clear the stale schedule entries. If it still doesn’t help, try deleting the automation and creating it again with the same cron.

Let me know if re-saving fixes it.
