Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Closes after a period of inactivity, or when you send !close.

import asyncio
import time
import schedule
from datetime import datetime

# Define the asynchronous job function
async def my_async_job():
    print(f"Async job started at {datetime.now()}")
    await asyncio.sleep(2)  # Simulate async work
    print(f"Async job finished at {datetime.now()}")

# Define a function to run the async job
def run_async_job():
    asyncio.run(my_async_job())

def main():
    # Schedule the async job to run at 20:00 every day
    schedule.every().hour.at(":56").do(run_async_job)

    # Keep the script running
    try:
        print("Scheduler started. Waiting for jobs to run...")
        while True:
            schedule.run_pending()
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        print("Shutting down scheduler...")

# Run the main function
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

This doesnt work, nor this.....

import asyncio
from apscheduler.schedulers.asyncio import AsyncIOScheduler
from datetime import datetime
from apscheduler.triggers.cron import CronTrigger

# Define the asynchronous job function
async def my_async_job():
    print(f"Async job started at {datetime.now()}")
    await asyncio.sleep(2)  # Simulate async work
    print(f"Async job finished at {datetime.now()}")

def main():
    # Create an instance of the AsyncIOScheduler
    scheduler = AsyncIOScheduler()

    # Schedule the async job to run every 10 seconds
    scheduler.add_job(my_async_job, CronTrigger(hour=20, minute=47))

    # Start the scheduler
    scheduler.start()

    try:
        # Keep the script running
        asyncio.get_event_loop().run_forever()
    except (KeyboardInterrupt, SystemExit):
        # Shut down the scheduler on exit
        print("Shutting down scheduler...")
        scheduler.shutdown()

# Run the main function
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

you could configure a cronjob, or whatever the equivalent is for your system. That is usually more reliable, and you don't need to worry about if your python script actually stays up.
