Prefect 2.6.6, local. Any idea why my flows starting at the same time, although I have put a different schedule(start time)? Cheers

1. I have used two different qeues, q1 and q1 with single agent

Here both flows are running on same schedule

Hello Faheem, I suspect this may be related to the end of daylight savings time.

Could you try pausing and unpausing the deployment schedules to see if that fixes the flow runs going forward?

I suspect this has to do with both flows running hourly on the half hour. Your by the time `flow 2` has run for 25 hours it has caught up to `flow 1` ’s schedule. They will run hourly at the exact same time.

If you meant for them to run daily and they were firing at the same time, that’s a different story. I would suggest you change the timing to a different minute within the hour if you’re not wanting them to kick off at the same time. Another schedule could be every other hour… one on the even hours, one on the odd hours. Just some thoughts of how to get them on unsynchronized schedules.
