A reminder didn't trigger. The run history shows that it was "non requested". What does this mean?

“not requested” is delivery status, not the cron run status.

It means the job ran (or attempted to run), but OpenClaw did not request fallback delivery to a chat/webhook — usually because the reminder was a main-session system event or was created with --no-deliver / delivery.mode: "none".

Check these:

openclaw --version
openclaw cron show <jobId>
openclaw cron runs --id <jobId> --limit 50

How to read it:

  • status: ok + delivery: not requested → cron fired, but nothing was configured to be sent automatically.
  • status: skipped/error → the reminder didn’t actually complete; check the error field.
  • If you expected a Discord message, edit the job to announce somewhere explicit:
