Scheduling option issue: Super not launching at selected time

[I-Wildcard]

Hello team,

I was testing the Super 5 scheduling option today when updating to macOS Sequoia 15.1, and for some reason Super did not launch at the time I selected (17.30). I did receive the reminders 4 hours and 15 minutes before the selected time (as per our customisation), which worked great - but when 17.30 arrived nothing happened.

I looked into the logs, and this is what I see:

Super is saying that it'll automatically relaunch at 18.15 and not at 17.30. I encountered this issue on two different devices.

Let me know if you need additional information.

Thank you!

Yeah... sorry... I'd have to see a --verbose-mode log to figure out why super is not properly setting a relaunch time.

Hi,

I was able to replicate the issue on another Mac.

Scheduled date: 17.00 After dismissing the second reminder (15 minutes before the scheduled date), the next autolaunch date I see is set to 17.56 and not at 17.00 as expected.

Attached --verbose-mode logs: Super.log

Hi, I think I have a related issue where super does not auto-relaunch after deferral.

snippet of log is below, - the script does not re-launch at the specified time post deferral. How is the re-launch controlled? May be a dumb question, but is the script running as a daemon in the background, or is scheduled to run periodically via cron-like mechanism? thank you,
