I Upon exceeding my 250 limit, I checked. I had/have 11 automations scheduled for Sept 15th between 12am and 12:10am. In that time, I have a log of 41 scheduled automations that ran. During the day, 3 action triggered automations ran.
Seems that something is wrong with the automation code. Unless, and it's not clear, that I get docked for every sub action of an automation. Then it might make sense.
