We use Robot extensively at several sites.

We have a job scheduled in Robot to end Robot Schedule at 1:58am and
restart it at 2:02am. It then puts itself on hold for next DST change.

This job is scheduled for Sundays. Normally it is on hold. We release it sometime during the week before DST although that could be put on a calendar so you can spend more time loafing.

We just started using Robot Schedule / Robot Replay the last several months.
This was our first experience of a daylight savings time change with the product.

System time auto changed from 2:00 am to 3:00 am on 3/11.

Robot jobs failed to start at 3:45 am and 4:00 am.

Recycling Robot Schedule resolved the issue.
Anyone from the group using these products and experiencing similar issue?

I have an open ticket with Help Systems.

Thank You
