Hi, having trouble with Wait until Date/Time. As you can see, it doesn't wait at all! I'm in UTC-4 (EST). Mount and computer time are synced and correct.

When the chosen date was the day after, it did wait, but a shorter interval than specified. Sorry I didn't keep the log.

Same thing for day after. Run on 10:57 10/24 EST. Meant to start 1 am on 10/25.
