I’m using the YouTube API to publish videos scheduled for a specific release time, but I’ve repeatedly encountered an issue where the videos, originally scheduled for a specific release time, are being published earlier than intended without my intervention. For example, yesterday I scheduled a video to be released on January 20, 2026, but when I checked yesterday afternoon, the release time had changed to January 18, 2026. I swear I didn’t execute any commands to modify the video status during that time, nor did I change the video status in the YouTube Studio backend, but I can’t figure out what’s causing this problem.

Hi there! Welcome to the Apigee Community 
Just as a quick FYI: this forum specializes in questions related to the Apigee API Management Platform.
Based on your description, this appears to be an issue within the YouTube Data API. I believe you will find much better-tailored assistance on Stack Overflow. Google engineers actively monitor and answer questions there using these tags: youtube-api, youtube-data-api, or youtube-v3-api.
If your implementation specifically involves Apigee, please let us know the details so we can help you.
Have a great day!
OK thank you
