Hey, thanks for the report. I can see the screenshots with the settings and the run history. You’re right, the automation keeps running daily even though it’s set to weekly.

This is a confirmed bug. Changing the schedule from daily to weekly doesn’t apply correctly on the server side. I’ve passed this on to the team, but I can’t promise an ETA for a fix yet.

As a workaround, try deleting the current automation and creating a new one with a weekly schedule from the start, without changing it after creation. That should help avoid the issue.

Let me know if that works.
