Date & Time: every x min card not triggering?

Flows

I have made an advanced flow, supposed to trigger every 3 mins using one of the the Date&Time cards. As I observed unexpected behaviour I added a Mobile notification card immediatedly after the trigger. Results are as below, with an unexpected gap from 14:48 to 16:42, almost 2 hours.

The flow itself is simple and fairly short, and does not have other delay timers or so.

I noticed similar erroneous behaviour in another flow using the Modbus app, and there I added some 1 sec “wait” timers between Modbus commands. That made it work reliably.

I just now added some wait timers in this flow and see if it will consistently trigger. Btw I have an early 2018 old-skool Homey. I find this Homey behaviour extremely annoying, it appears not reliable even for the most basic of functions. No warning, nothing, it just does not appear to work as required.

Questions:

1. Are there other users experiencing similar problems using Date&Time cards not triggering?

2. Suggestions for root causes? Only for Advanced flows? Could it be max no of notifications or notification buffer or so - however this does not explain below.

3. Suggestions for solutions?
