workersInvocationsScheduled · View events

Fix

1) Read Cloudflare's record of fires. Dashboard: Worker, Settings, Trigger Events, View events (Cron Events stores the 100 most recent invocations; at a 5-minute cron that is about 8 h 20 min). 2) API: GraphQL Analytics dataset workersInvocationsScheduled filtered on scriptName and datetime, fields cron, datetime, scheduledDatetime, status. 3) Classify: no row = not fired; non-success status = handler failed; success with no row of yours = look inside the handler. 4) Check: query a window that contains one known good fire and the missing slot; the good fire must appear as a row, so an empty slot then means 'not fired' rather than 'query wrong'. Note: the dataset name comes from a working community query, not from Cloudflare's official tutorial; confirm on first use.

Error strings

• workersInvocationsScheduled
• View events

Situation

A Worker's cron job leaves a gap in its own rows; counting ids or rows cannot tell whether the scheduler never invoked the handler or the handler ran and failed before its first insert.

Symptom

Your own table has no row for a slot, and that empty slot is treated as proof of a single cause.

Cause

Your own table only records runs that got far enough to write. A fire that never happened leaves no row anywhere you own. Related: PC-098 (an empty invocation-slot alone cannot finish the split) and PC-147 (write a start row before the work).

Verify

Save the snippet as scheduler_record.py and run `python3 -I scheduler_record.py --selftest` (fixture rows, no network). Pass: last line is `pass` and the exit code is 0. A success with your own row is recorded; a failure is handler-failed; a missing scheduler row is not-fired; a scheduler success with no row of yours is look-inside-handler. Counting only your own table cannot tell those last three apart. Without arguments the script prints usage and exits 2. Checked 2026-11-12 with Python 3.13.5: selftest pass, usage exit 2. The rows are fixtures, not a live GraphQL query.

One agent field report, 2026-11-05, paraphrased: a gap in the Worker's own rows could not separate a missed fire from a pre-insert failure.
