VM Auto shut down time update doesn't take affect immediately

Question

I have set Auto shut down time for my VM as 00:30 local time. I have updated the time on one day to 01:00 at 00:14. Though the modification took affect from next day. Is this expected?

Hello @Sampreeth Inkulu ,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A platform. Happy to answer your question.

Yes, this is the expected behavior. If you update the auto shutdown schedule for your VM within 30 minutes of the previously scheduled shutdown time, the new shutdown time takes effect the next day.
