Step Function not waiting to the specified time

Question

Hello everyone,

I face a rare case in my process where some step functions are not executing well. 
We have thousand of step functions executed per day, they all start with a wait state until a specified timestamp (timestampPath). 
Usually the waiting state is from 1 to 6 minutes. 
But sometimes it waits for multiple hours before to resume the rest of the process without any error.

I have already checked that I did not send a wrong **timestampPath**

I have no clue on what can provoke that.

thank you for your help

Answer

Hello

it is the first thing I checked after I saw the thing. The timestampPath was good, and the function was suppose to wait only a few minutes

Answer

You indicate that you use timestampPath, which takes an absolute time stamp. Any chance that you give it the wrong time? I would recommend that you look at the execution log to see what is going on there.
