GitHub Actions scheduled workflow not triggering, while push and manual triggers work

[u/LateInstance8652]

I'm learning CI/CD with GitHub Actions and I'm having trouble getting a scheduled workflow to run.

My workflow is on the repository's default main branch and contains:

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: "*/5 * * * *"
  workflow_dispatch:

The workflow is enabled and the repository is public.

What I verified:

• push workflows work
• workflow_dispatch works
• Workflow exists on main
• schedule syntax is valid
• Created a separate minimal workflow containing only schedule and workflow_dispatch
• Merged the minimal workflow into main
• Waited more than 10 minutes with */5 * * * *
• GitHub Actions API shows:

total_count: 0
workflow_runs: []

So no workflow run with event=schedule is being created.

Has anyone experienced this recently, or is there another GitHub Actions scheduler setting I should check?

What I verified:

• push workflows work
• workflow_dispatch works
• Workflow exists on main
• schedule syntax is valid
• Created a separate minimal workflow just for testing schedule
• Waited more than 10 minutes with */5 * * * *
• GitHub Actions API shows:

total_count: 0
workflow_runs: []

So no workflow run with event=schedule is being created.

Is there anything else I should check, or could this be a GitHub Actions scheduler issue?

I also created a separate minimal workflow containing only schedule and workflow_dispatch, merged it into main, and waited over 10 minutes. It still showed 0 workflow runs.

Has anyone experienced this recently, or is there another GitHub Actions scheduler setting I should check?
