Schedule text message through apple shortcuts

I have scheduled a text message daily at 8.45am through apple shortcuts app. On more than one occasion, the scheduled time has changed by two minutes to 8.47am. Can you explain why?

iPhone 14 Pro

Is the Shortcut you're running doing any work before sending the message? It might be slowed down by other blocks before the send message block. Otherwise, I would suggest scheduling the automation at different timepoints during the day to see if this is a recurring issue. What version of iOS are you running?

Thank you for your interest. The answer is no it is not doing any work before sending a message.

I am operating iOS 16.6 on an iPhone 10s. Today the message was activated at 8.48 am the first time the time has made a further different time. It is set for 8.45 am, originally started Saturday 19 Aug, Sun 8.45 am, Mon 8.47 am

Tue & Wed 8.45 am, Thu 8.47 am, Fri 8.45 am and this morning 8.48 am. Very curious! By the way, the message is being sent to an iPhone 14 Pro using iOS 16.6.
