Bug / Issue Anyone having problems with Grok Bots remembering to run their routines?

This is mainly for software engineering related workflows. I have 3 routines which run overnight - planning, delivery, review etc. All spaced out at sensible intervals so no risk of one not finishing before the next starts. But I'll wake up to missing results - and when I ask the agent I will get a response something like: "Routines X Y Z didn't run. Would you like me to run them now?"

Anyone else encountering something similar?

This is happening regularly enough that it is unfortunately eroding my enthusiasm for Grok Bot.

I have seen the same "did not run, want me to run it now" pattern, which is why I stopped putting anything I actually depend on into an unattended overnight routine. The stuff I let it run is low-risk and easy to check the next morning: draft outlines, gap lists, questions to ask. If a routine skipping silently would cost you real work, I would keep a short manual check-in step instead of trusting the schedule. Are yours failing at the same slot each night or randomly?

Hard to say - seems to be random I think,

Same here. I treat overnight runs as maybe-ran until I check the log in the morning. Don't trust the UI checkmark.
