Hi @Mar 

In Jira Automation, CRON expressions are always interpreted in UTC. This often leads to rules running earlier or later than expected when viewed in local time. For example, a CRON set to run between 08:00 and 19:00 may appear to run until 21:00 or 22:00 if your site or rule is still using UTC while you’re in a different timezone. To avoid this, adjust the times in UTC so that the schedule fires at the intended local hours.
Hope this helps!
