      you could have done all the initial event calculating in one function

      used interval for the midnights (as it’s a fixed number)

        @BKeyport MODULE_DOM_CREATED means YOUR getDom()/getTemplateData() has been called

          @sdetweil yeah, doing it that way just throws headers with “Undefined” until it triggers. I’m not gonna go down that rabbit hole. It seems to work as is, so I’m gonna release for now.

          The "E" in "Javascript" stands for "Easy"

            @BKeyport said in Not updating at midnight...:

            start: function () {
            function scheduleMidnightUpdate() {
            const now = new Date();
            const nextMidnight = new Date(now);

                // Set the time to midnight
                nextMidnight.setHours(24, 0, 0, 0);
            
                // Calculate the time remaining until the next midnight
                const timeUntilMidnight = nextMidnight - now;
            
                // Schedule the updateDom method to be called at midnight
                setTimeout(() => {
                    this.updateDom();
            
                    // Reschedule the update for the next midnight
                    scheduleMidnightUpdate.call(this);
                }, timeUntilMidnight);
            }
            

            },

            I would do it like this , much more straight forward

                 function scheduleMidnightUpdate() {
                     const now = new Date();
                     const nextMidnight = new Date(now);
             
                     // Set the time to midnight
                     nextMidnight.setHours(24, 0, 0, 0);
             
                     // Calculate the time remaining until the next midnight
                     const timeUntilMidnight = nextMidnight - now;
             
                     // Schedule the updateDom method to be called at midnight
                     setTimeout(() => {
                         // trigger first update on next midnight change
                         this.updateDom();
                        // start Recurring midnight change
                         setInterval(()=>{
                             this.updateDom()
                         }, 24*60*60*1000 ) // 24 hours * 60 minutes * 60 seconds * 1000 milliseconds (1 day elapsed in ms)  setInterval delay
                     }, timeUntilMidnight);  // setTimeout delay
                 }
             },
            

            then the system triggers every midnight… not your code
