I have created a scenario that should collect data daily at 01:01. Due to the time change to summer time, the time has automatically changed to 00:01. Is there a way to include the time change in the scheduling?
That’s a great idea! I’m sure others would agree that this is a nice feature to have.
You can submit this suggestion to the Idea exchange, under Platform Ideas and Improvements
Don’t forget to search for it first, just in case someone already suggested it, so that you don’t end up creating a duplicate.
A possible workaround would be to use another scenario to update your existing scenarios’ schedules whenever there is a daylight savings switch. But this is a very advanced topic for another discussion.
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Hi @samliew,
Thanks for your reply! I have made a suggestion for a new setting.
If anyone reading here has the same problem, please vote here: https://www.make.com/en/platform-ideas/p/scheduling-setting-for-changeover-to-summer-time
Did you also click on the link above to search if a similar feature request was made before?
Thanks for the hint! I was looking for similar ideas, but didn’t find anything. I didn’t realise that your link led directly to a very similar post. It is of course a bit demotivating to see that this idea has been there for 5 years. Also, I don’t see any way of deleting my own idea at the moment. However, I have now also voted for the older post.
Yes, this is because others around the world do not see any issue with Make schedules not observing local daylight savings.

For all those who also stumble across this issue: The supposed time change in scheduling only affects the display in the history. The scenario ran at the same time before and after the changeover to summer time.
