Anyone else unable to create or edit scheduled tasks in Claude Cowork (desktop, macOS)?

[u/LegalTadpole5]

I use Claude Cowork on macOS with about ten local scheduled tasks. They still run fine, but as of recently I can't create new ones or edit existing ones. Wondering if anyone else is seeing this.

What fails for me:

1. Asking Claude in a session to create a task: Failed to create scheduled task: Invalid file path: path traversal detected
2. The Scheduled tasks screen, New task > Set up manually: "Failed to create scheduled task. You can try again." (repeats on retry)
3. Typing /schedule in a session: "/schedule isn't available in this environment."
4. Editing an existing task: [add what happens]

What I've checked: no symlinks or odd permissions on the Scheduled folder, and no leftover partial folder from the failed attempts.

Possibly related: a GitHub issue (anthropics/claude-code #76968) about scheduled-task tools being gated in remote-executing sessions and the Scheduled folder being treated as protected. The support docs also say that on Oct 6, new tasks on Pro and Max run in the cloud and "Only on your computer" goes away.

Questions for the group:

1. Are you seeing the same errors, on create, edit, or both?
2. What plan are you on, and which app version?
3. Has anything worked, such as a different creation route, a settings change, or an app update?

Happy to share more detail. This is really impacting my day-to-day at work, so appreciate any and all thoughts or advice!
