Hi experts!

Have a problem with a task that should run every month but it does not start! I do not get any failure messages nor log entries. When manually I run the task it executes as expected, so the data and the script it self seems to be ok. As reference I have other tasks scheduled every 10 min and 1 day that works great.

Any suggestion on where to fault trace?

running InfluxDB version 2.0.9

According to this [GitHub issue](https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/issues/23231) I will try to add a stop command to see if that solves the problem, have to wait and see!!

```auto
|> range(start: -1m, stop: now())

```

@Magnus_P,

@Anaisdg  
It works now much better with

> |\> range(start: -1mo, stop: now())

instead of

> |\> range(start: -1mo)

But, I have another problem where my tasks runs more frequently then expected! Below there is a task that should run every week, my expectations is on Mondays but it outputs two measurements every week (see dates below).

> option task = {  
> name: “Energy\_week\_test”,  
> every: 1w,  
> offset: 10m,  
> }
> 
> from(bucket: “SensorData\_2”)  
> |\> range(start: -1w, stop: now())  
> |\> filter(fn: (r) =\> r[“\_measurement”] == “Energy\_day”)  
> |\> filter(fn: (r) =\> r[“\_field”] == “Wh”)  
> |\> aggregateWindow(every: 1w, fn: sum, createEmpty: false)  
> |\> set(key: “\_measurement”, value: “Energy\_week”)  
> |\> timeShift(duration: -1h)  
> |\> to(bucket: “SensorData\_test”)
