ARC (Actions Runner Controller)

Discussion Details

Hi everyone,

I have a daily pipeline that runs via GitHub Actions

I've set a schedule for it to run at 1:37AM and it isn't kicking off until around 7AM, a huge delay.

I have checked the time zones, my self hosted runner is definitely online, everything I've troubleshooted leads me to believe that it's being delayed by GitHub somehow.

I've had this pipeline running for the last 6/7 months and it's worked fine, it was a few weeks ago it just randomly started running hours later.

Anyone else having the same issues?

Thanks

We are having the same issue. I'm not sure when it actually started happening as it only became important right now that we have a few workflows that need to be triggered at sparse times during the day in a coordinated fashion.

Did you have any changes in the controller or in the scalesets?
