Choose schedule timing, time zones, and maximum runs

Use the Schedule Task dialog to decide when a recurring AI Tool run should happen, which timezone it should follow, and whether it should stop after a set number of runs.

Scheduling settings do not spend credits by themselves. Credits are used when an AI Tool run starts.

Before you choose a schedule

Open the AI Tool you want to schedule, fill in the required inputs, and select Schedule. Ampere opens the Schedule Task dialog only after the inputs are ready for a saved recurring run.

The current picker offers four schedule types:

• Hourly: run once every hour at a selected minute.
• Daily: run once every day at a selected time.
• Weekly: run on selected days of the week at a selected time.
• Monthly: run on a selected day of the month at a selected time.

Choose the schedule type and time

In the Schedule section, select the schedule type first. The fields below it change based on the type you choose.

For daily, weekly, and monthly schedules, choose an hour and minute. For hourly schedules, choose the minute past the hour. The current app shows 15-minute scheduling precision, so the minute picker offers :00, :15, :30, and :45.

For weekly schedules, select at least one day. For monthly schedules, choose the day of the month. If a selected monthly day does not exist in a shorter month, Ampere runs the task on that month's last day.

Choose the timezone

The Schedule Task dialog detects your browser timezone and uses it by default. You can change it before creating the task.

Use the timezone picker when the task should run according to a team's operating timezone, a market's local time, or a publishing calendar that differs from your current browser timezone. The scheduled task details later show the saved timezone and next run time.

Set maximum runs when the task should end

Open Advanced Options to set Maximum Runs. This field is optional.

Leave Maximum Runs blank when the task should continue on its schedule until someone pauses or deletes it. Enter a positive number when the task should complete after that many scheduled runs.

Examples:

• Use no maximum for an ongoing weekly content refresh.
• Use 5 runs for a five-day launch campaign.
• Use 12 runs for a monthly check-in that should last one year.

If a task reaches its maximum-run count, review the task before extending it. Editing the task can allow more future runs when the lifecycle limits are relaxed.

Review before creating the task

Before selecting Create Task, check:

• The AI Tool inputs are correct.
• The schedule type matches how often the work should recur.
• The hour, minute, and timezone match the team's calendar.
• The maximum-run value is blank for ongoing work or set for a finite campaign.
• The auto-pause setting still matches how many consecutive issues you want to allow before Ampere stops retrying the task.

After the task is created, use the Scheduled Tasks dashboard to review its status, next run time, and details.
