Here's a normal usage, but the LED was expected to turn ON and the value to increase.

Checked variable info. It states that the task should have started 4 hours later than expected.

So I removed 4 hours from my starting time and it worked

I did some output manipulation to understand what's happening (Starting time was set at 15:37 (GMT-4) and current time was 9:26 (GMT-4)) :

void loop() {
  ArduinoCloud.update();
  // Your code here 
    if (schedule_test.isActive()) {
    light = true;
    digitalWrite(LED, HIGH);

    if (toggle) {
      counter = ++counter;
      toggle = false;
    }
  } else {
    light = false;
    digitalWrite(LED, LOW);
    toggle = true;
  }
  if(ArduinoCloud.connected()){
     time_read = ArduinoCloud.getLocalTime();
  }
  
  gettimeofday(&current_time, NULL);
  Serial.print("RTC seconds : ");
  Serial.println(current_time.tv_sec, DEC);
  
  Serial.print("TimeService.getRTC : ");
  Serial.println(time(NULL), DEC);
  
  Serial.print("TimeService.getTime (UTC) value : ");
  Serial.println((unsigned int)TimeService.getTime(), DEC);
  
  Serial.print("TimeService.getLocalTime value : ");
  Serial.println((unsigned int)TimeService.getLocalTime(), DEC);
  
  Serial.print("frm value : ");
  Serial.println((unsigned int)schedule_test.getCloudValue().frm, DEC);
  
  delay(1000);
}

RTC seconds : 1696425985
TimeService.getRTC : 1696425985
TimeService.getTime (UTC) value : 1696425985 
TimeService.getLocalTime value : 1696411585
frm value : 1696361220

TimeService.getTime (UTC) value : 1696425985 (October 4, 2023 1:26:25 PM)
TimeService.getLocalTime value : 1696411585 (October 4, 2023 9:26:25 AM)

frm value -> That means FRM is set as GMT or UTC TIME.
GMT: Tuesday, October 3, 2023 7:27:00 PM
Your time zone: Tuesday, October 3, 2023 3:27:00 PM GMT-04:00 DST

But in ArduinoIoTCloud\src\property\types\CloudSchedule.h line 118, it compare the time with LOCAL time.

ArduinoIoTCloud/src/property/types/CloudSchedule.h

Line 118 in 4929d5b

ScheduleTimeType now = TimeService.getLocalTime();

That means either isActive() should compare in UTC time instead of local or the ArduinoCloud Schedule initialization should be initialized with local time instead UTC.

[Edit] What appears in the variable info, seems to get the local time then converting it to GMT. It uses that GMT time to compare with the local time. It looks like some Cloud integration problem.

Scheduler isn't valid when using Time zone
