Why isn’t my scheduled GitHub Actions workflow running?
Asked by
MellowPine47
I have a workflow in a private repository that should run once a day, but scheduled runs never seem to start. I also tested the same setup in another repository with a schedule set to every five minutes, and that workflow didn't trigger either. Could there be a configuration problem or a temporary issue with the Actions service?

The schedule syntax doesn’t appear to be the main problem. The workflow was showing as manually disabled in the Actions interface, so scheduled runs would not start while it was disabled. Re-enable the workflow from its menu and then test it again. A later push event did create a run, which suggests the workflow file is being detected and parsed correctly.

MellowPine47: I had already disabled it temporarily, but scheduled runs were not working even when it was enabled.
MellowPine47: I’ve enabled it again. Could you check whether it is now detecting the schedule?
