I am moving all of my tasks from Windows Task Scheduler to VisualCron. I have not had many issues until today. We have 10 different jobs that run one time a day at different times. For example, "Job 5" is set to run at 5:15 AM only once. For the past 2 weeks I have experienced no issues. Today, however, the VC UI shows all the jobs failed, with an execution time of 0.1 - 0.2 seconds.

When I check the actual logs for any specific job, it shows it tried to run multiple times at the exact same time. Here is an example of this -
Event time - 7/9/2024 5:15:00 AM | Exit code 1 | execution time 00:00:00.2 |
Event time - 7/9/2024 5:15:00 AM | Exit code 1 | execution time 00:00:00.1 |
Event time - 7/9/2024 5:15:00 AM | Exit code 1 | execution time 00:00:00.1 |
Event time - 7/9/2024 5:15:00 AM | Exit code 1 | execution time 00:00:00.2 |
etc. etc. for about 10 rows of this.

And then we have one successful run at the bottom -

Event time - 7/9/2024 5:15:00 AM | Exit code 0 | execution time 00:03:46.2 |

What is causing it to attempt to run multiple times after the first run was already a success? This makes it so I cannot see if the job is still running, as the latest attempts are the failure attempts. The VC Jobs run a .bat file that calls on Pentaho Kettle and runs a Kettle job. All of the Kettle jobs are successful, but as you can see, in VC it says they failed. There are no time exceptions, no conditions, nothing checked to allow multiple run attempts. This was not happening until today. Today is the first day in which it's done this, and it did it to all 10 jobs. What could be the cause for this, and how could I go about fixing it? If images are needed, let me know. I haven't posted to the forums and do not see of a way to upload an image without having an image URL. Attachments are not sticking either.

Here is an image of the log I am looking at. Note, this job only is supposed to run once. Yet it shows it tried to run many many times, with only one being successful for 7/9/2024
