wp-cli not updating status from future to published

[DanJosephWJ]

We are trying to publish posts that have a post status of "future" but the date for the schedule has passed. (Missed scheduled post)

• The status can be manually changed via the GUI
• The command wp cron event run publish_future_post executes succesfully but the post status is not changed
• The command wp post update 215714 --post_status=publish executes succesfully but the post status is not changed
• All plugins have been disabled
• Theme is twenty twenty four
• Wp Debug is enabled but the contents of the log file don't indicate a problem

We don't want to use a plugin that makes http calls to trigger missed scheduled posts as these have resulted in traffic floods. Our solution was to use wp-cli to do this but so far our efforts have not been successful.

Thank you for your time

Can you please provide some more details to replicate the issue, like any specific theme or plugin that you might be using?
