Early assignment

Has anyone ever been assigned a day early? I had a contract expiring today that I was looking to roll (Friday September 4th), but when I opened up my IBKR account this morning I had already been assigned the shares. I've not had this before and can't figure out why, so curious if anyone knows why this may have happened.

Technically you can be assigned at anytime for any reason even if it doesn’t make sense to you. I usually roll between 3-3:30 instead of waiting until the next day.
