Timed topic's date posted keeps moving

Bug
1

Continuing the discussion from How to create a Timed Topic:

I’m noticing a strange bug where a topic I posted in a private category on Friday, to be timed for posting to a public category on Saturday, is now being continuously moved to the top of the latest topics.

The timestamp on it reads “13m” right now and will reset routinely. I’m not sure how often yet as I just noticed this. I’m assuming it’s being triggered possibly every time the clock reaches the hour it was set to or something along those lines.

That particular error has been fixed in

https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/e8eaffbd724e8618bfb58b6f0fba88bae4c8ee1b

and it isn’t related to the current behavior that you’re seeing.

Can you see if there is a PublishToCategory job in https://<your hostname>/sidekiq/scheduled?

Thanks @Vocino! I found the bug and fixed it in

https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/aadf4805a539425021dff8352cc4aa404c4159f0

In the meantime, you can cancel the job manually in https://<your hostname>/sidekiq/scheduled.
