[Solved / Archived] Witty Pi on Pi Zero 2W - Not shutting down on schedule

Hi,

I am having another weird issue that I can't track down. I have been through my previous threads and others and I can't find the solution. It's very odd. I am running the latest version of the wittypi script and I've tried it with both a witty pi 3 mini and witty pi 4 mini and they are both exhibiting the same issue. 

Basically the pi isn't shutting down on the schedule.

>>> Current temperature: 35.875°C / 96.575°F
>>> Your system time is: 2024-03-20 09:25:27 GMT
>>> Your RTC time is:    2024-03-20 09:25:29 GMT
>>> Vout=5.06V, Iout=0.73A
Now you can:
  1. Write system time to RTC
  2. Write RTC time to system
  3. Synchronize with network time
  4. Schedule next shutdown [20 09:25:00]
  5. Schedule next startup  [20 09:40:00]
  6. Choose schedule script [in use]
  7. Set low voltage threshold  [0V]
  8. Set recovery voltage threshold
  9. Set over temperature action
 10. Set below temperature action
 11. View/change other settings...
 12. Reset data...
 13. Exit
What do you want to do? (1~13)

Any ideas where else I could look as it all looks ok 🙁

If I restart the wittypi service it shutsdown the pi, so I suspect the issue is there somewhere, but no idea where to look. 

Given the amount of change I have made to this pi over the last few weeks with the bookworm issues, I could rebuild it if it's nothing obvious...
