I set the time 23.00 but why it keep run the flow on random times? sometimes it automatically run on 11:00 pm, sometimes 06.00am, or even 02:00am. Can someone explain it to me? I want to set it to automatically run the flow everyday only on 06:00 am .

    Hello Deltodeus,

    It seems your start time ends with 'Z'.
    The 'T' is just a literal to separate the date from the time, and the 'Z' means “zero hour offset” also known as “Zulu time” (UTC). The literal “Z” is actually part of the ISO 8601 DateTime standard for UTC times. When “Z” (Zulu) is tacked on the end of a time, it indicates that that time is UTC, so really the literal Z is part of the time.

    If your datetime has a Z at the end, it means it's in UTC time.

    For more information about datetime formats, see Standard date and time format strings.

    The start time is not the time at which the flow will run.  You want to put 23 in the At these hours field.
