The fix is here:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/18da1d5b07445e1de3a1326aabcca68091093dd7](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/18da1d5b07445e1de3a1326aabcca68091093dd7)

This migration did not work as expected:

```plaintext
DB.exec("UPDATE topic_timers SET duration_minutes = (duration * 60 * 24) WHERE duration_minutes != duration AND status_type = 7 AND duration IS NOT NULL")
DB.exec("UPDATE topic_timers SET duration_minutes = (duration * 60) WHERE duration_minutes != duration AND status_type != 7 AND duration IS NOT NULL")

```

`WHERE duration_minutes != duration` does not work if duration\_minutes is NULL, which all of them ~~are~~ were.

Yes only the `Jobs::DeleteReplies` job directly referred to the new `duration_minutes` job, so other timers should have been unaffected (from what I can tell).
