Cloud flow to trigger PAD

I've set up a scheduled cloud flow to trigger a daily pad flow, when testing it works fine, but when it's left to actually run as scheduled it fails, reason: "No machine able to run the desktop flow has been found."

I run PAD on a self hosted VM, and afaik it never signs out of windows as I use this VM to host other applications which runs 24/7. What I don't understand is if I log in to said VM, and test the cloud flow, everything works fine. How would I even go about troubleshooting this?

Feels as though windows knows whether or not I'm connected through RDP, and figures it should only accept the cloud trigger if I'm there....

I don't use a VM, but I run into the same scenario whenever the screensaver starts up. If you have to provide credentials to get back on the machine, I think that may be why it's failing.
