Tried several options to start at a specified time, not working as expected. @essweine to check.

I tried the cycle start timer with these 3 formats.

When I use this format, it completes the instance immediately, so I think that format doesn't work. e.g. "R/P1D/T03H59M59S" - https://dev.app.spiff.status.im/i/4938
This format in dev.app, e.g "R5/2024-04-15T18:20:00Z/P10M" - https://dev.app.spiff.status.im/i/4921 completed this instance and created a new instance in the specified time https://dev.app.spiff.status.im/i/4922 and it is in the 'not started' state.

When I tried the same in dev.mod, "R5/2024-04-15T18:20:00Z/P10M" - https://dev.mod.spiff.status.im/i/37209 it didn't create a new instance like in dev.app, instead it changed the state from 'not started' to 'running' in the specified time. And the diagram looks like this for that.

This format instance is in 'not started' state. Not sure whether it'll get triggered in 24 hours. Will check tomorrow. "R/PT20H10M59S" - https://dev.app.spiff.status.im/i/4911 "R/PT20H10M59S" - https://dev.mod.spiff.status.im/i/37210

Checked these 2 instances "R/PT20H10M59S" - https://dev.app.spiff.status.im/i/4911 - It seems this has completed about 20H10M "R/PT20H10M59S" - https://dev.mod.spiff.status.im/i/37210 - It seems this has changed to running state after about 20H10M

But they have not created new instances.

So it seems none of the above 3 formats are doing what we expect.

Found this format "R/2024-05-13T21:00/PT12H" in a camunda forum and it seems to work.

I'll try this "R/2024-05-15T00:00/PT24H" and will post the result in few days.

@calexh-sar @MarD0607 the above format seems to work.

It got triggered at UTC 12. Format - "R/2024-05-15T00:00/PT24H"

https://dev.app.spiff.status.im/process-models/misc:qa:timer-tests:cycle-start-timer-at-mid-night

Please let me know whether we can close this ticket as it works for that format.

@madhurrya thanks for checking into this. Do you still have the Camunda link where you found this solution? While we are waiting to hear back from @MarD0607 if this works for him, I am going to move this issue to Documentation so @usama9500 can check if our documentation should be updated with this information.

@calexh-sar I think this is the link I referred to. https://forum.camunda.io/t/process-to-start-at-particular-time-daily/28688/7
