What's Wrong?

Bug Description

A Claude Code routine configured to run "weekdays at 4:10 AM SGT"
(UTC+8) never fires on Monday.

Root Cause

4:10 AM SGT = 20:10 UTC the previous day.
Monday 4:10 AM SGT = Sunday 20:10 UTC.

If the scheduler applies the "weekdays only" filter in UTC, Sunday is
excluded, so the Monday run is silently skipped. Tuesday–Friday work
correctly (they map to Mon–Thu UTC).

Affected Timezones

Any UTC+ timezone where early-morning routines cross the UTC date
boundary back into the previous (weekend) day. SGT (UTC+8), CST
(UTC+8), JST (UTC+9), AEST (UTC+10), etc.

What Should Happen?

Expected Behavior

"Weekdays" should be evaluated in the routine's configured timezone,
not in UTC.

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

Workaround

Set routine time to 08:01 AM SGT or later (UTC equivalent is 00:01
the same day, safely within UTC weekdays). Earlier times cannot be
used without hitting this bug.

Environment

  • Claude Code on the web (claude.ai/code)
  • Routine schedule: "Runs weekdays at 4:10 AM SGT"
  • Observed: routine did not fire on Monday 2026-06-02 at 04:10 SGT
