Trigger-ui-tests shift nightly cron to 02:15 UTC - #1454
Merged
Conversation
GitHub Actions cron runs in UTC. '0 5 * * *' fired at 05:00 UTC, which is 07:00 local in summer (CEST/UTC+2) and 06:00 in winter (CET/UTC+1) - right when the team arrives and needs the self-hosted runner. Moving to '15 2 * * *' (02:15 UTC) means ~04:15 local (summer) / ~03:15 local (winter), finishing well before the workday even with GitHub's scheduler queue delay and the ~60 min suite. Using :15 instead of :00 avoids top-of-the-hour scheduler congestion that was delaying the run by 20-30 minutes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
