Hi James additional information about scheduled states is generally only available when Prefect is backed by a database + API like Prefect Cloud When calling `flow run ` in Core we re running a lite in process scheduler but it doesn t have access to all the details of the scheduled states Therefore context fields like `scheduled start time` fall back to their default values `now `

However `scheduled start time` sounds like it might not be what you re interested in `scheduled start time` tells you what time the current run was supposed to start for example if it was scheduled for 9 00am but actually starts at 9 00 01 `scheduled start time=9 00` but `start time=9 00 01` Sounds like you re looking for information about the next future run

For that you ll need to introspect the states that result from running your flow and see if any of them are scheduled ` state for state in run states if state is scheduled ` Scheduled states have a `start time` attribute that tells you when they are eligible to run again
