n8n - 💡(How to fix) Fix Title: Schedule Trigger not firing automatically - crons deregistered immediately after activation

Describe the problem/error/question

Schedule Trigger never fires automatically. The workflow runs perfectly when triggered manually but never executes on schedule. Logs show crons are immediately deregistered after activation with no "Registered cron" ever appearing.

What is the error message (if any)?

No explicit error. Logs show: Finished building workflow dependency index. Processed 0 draft workflows, 0 published workflows. Activated workflow "Coach Streetlifting V2" Deregistered all crons for workflow

Please share your workflow/screenshots/recording

Workflow contains 3 triggers:

• Telegram Trigger (works correctly)
• Schedule Trigger - Monday 8h (never fires)
• Schedule Trigger - Friday 8h (never fires)

Share the output returned by the last node

N/A - workflow never auto-executes from Schedule Trigger
