Is fluctuates Minutes working properly?

Post by bitcoin »

Image

I've scheduled the RT Action to run every day at 20.00 BUT with a random interval of 1260 minutes (= 24 hours) so I don't retweet every day at the same time.

I just started that Action and it immediately went to retweeting. Might be that I randomized 0 minutes, but... ;p

I've scheduled the RT Action to run every day at 20.00 BUT with a random interval of 1260 minutes (= 24 hours) so I don't retweet every day at the same time.
Perhaps you were in 20:00 to 24:00 time while you set that action up. :)
Can you confirm this? When did you setup the schedule?

I just started that Action and it immediately went to retweeting. Might be that I randomized 0 minutes, but... ;p
Should not. As the time is fixed by you. Atleast you have set the fixed time. 20:00. Which is enough to tell the bot. Fluct is 2ndary thing here.

No, it will be on the repeat.

But the action shouldn't have starteyd immediatley, if you set it for 20:00 it should start at 20:00, but unless it was 19:59 when you made the action, it should have been waiting.



Also, the fluc is a +-. so by setting daily runner at 20:00, lets say it just completed on the 22nd.
so the next run would be 23rd 20:00 +- 24 hours, that means your range is: 22nd 20:00 until 24th 20:00.

so you could run the first action:
22nd 20:00
it completes then runs again 22nd 20:10

due to the - fluct, which I don't think is what you want

Not at all :(

So how would I have the action start at a random moment and not sharp at 20.00 every day? :(

I don't see any way but you can reduce the fluct minute thus the possibility of time chnages for each day becomes less.

IF you set sharp 22:00 fluct 2 minutes then next day it will be + - 22:00 which will be near 22:00 not too far.....

so if I take 24 hours in minutes as the random +- interval, it's only effecting the next day? Sigh. Why is this so complicated? :) I just don't want to retweet something every day on a fixed time interval. I don't mind starting fixed if I have many retweets for a day but for promotions that only have 1 or 2 retweets... This won't do ;p

So... What now? :)

Didn't understand. How? i mean you split the time in minutes and seconds and how it is going to next day?
Sigh. Why is this so complicated?
It's not complicated. More feature made this program look complicated. :)

I am not sure but i think i have understood something wrong. I thought the last result is saved in to a variable but it is not.Not your issue.

1) what you have did was correct and i assume i calculated something wrong.

Please create retweet action with daily run at at 22:00 and fluct like you want. It should work. ( but, be sure to create the action before 22:00 on your timezone otherwise the action will run immediately)



2) Create the action with a time interval that comes between 22:00 to 24:00

So... What now? :)
I told you already.

Update: Fixed schedule + fluct time for each day is working fine and what i have told you above or what you did previously is just ok. I have replicated the issue for you and confirming you that. But before creation, please calculate the time properly.

So... What's the status now?

If I set xy minutes +- for the Schedule start time, will the Action now FIRST pause the xy +- minutes, or does it still start with a RT at 20:00 sharp only to add the xy minutes for the next start the next day (when my client requested a single retweet per day).

Click daily run at
Put the fixed time (ex: 22:00) fluct = 10 minutes or 5 minutes
Create your action.


Should work.


Note: again, be careful about the creation time. Must create the action before 22:00 in your Timezone.
