Scheduled bot ran twice

AppSheet AppSheet Q&A

Hi, I have a scheduled bot that runs for each record in the table.

And when looking in the bot monitor logs, I see two runs for the same record

Could it be due to execution time limit? I see the automation limit for a scheduled automation process is 5 minutes max. But I’m not sure if the documentation applies the limit applies to “Each record” run for a bot. or the bulk run of all records in one bot.

I did one sample on one record

  • The first ran for 200+ seconds
  • The duplicate ran for 400 seconds

Is it possible that the bot running twice was due to timeout? and re-run on it’s own? regardless both runs gave “Success”…

This has been happening to some of us here, but the issue hasn’t gained much traction on AppSheet support’s end to further investigate: Scripts triggered twice per run

I’ve had to duplicate the scheduled bot to prevent it from running twice. The duplicated bot runs as expected, so I disable the bot that runs twice.

I recommend reaching out to support to further investigate this issue.
