I don't use bigtimer but a quick glance at [Pete Scargill's website](https://tech.scargill.net/big-timer/) reveals this image suggesting you can inject "auto"

You need to inject auto to enable the timer. On will manually overwrite the scheduler.

The full set of options you can test with this flow:

```

A combination of **auto** and **on** - **will temporarily overwrite the scheduler with ON until the next scheduler event.**

So in my opinion the problem is that you inject ON into the node.
