Application.OnTime Stopping

So I created the below schedule and within the ThisWorkbook Object. The schedule worked effectively (when excel wouldnt get closed due to system restart or some other reason). However after 5 days the schedule just stopped firing. Isolated events and times for launch and ensured that this sub was the active code and, nothing.

Tried the same file on multiple boxes to no avail. I understand Application.OnTime is fickle and its state must be set to false when closing (this is for a whole other topic as I have been frustrated as can be with this) or it will continue to launch multiple executions of the same command - hopefully MS will come up with a better solution to scheduling needs.

There is nothing wrong with any of the subroutines that are called as I can executed them manually with no issues. My only resolution was to create an entirely new file. I imported all objects (sheets and modules) and simply cut/paste the below schedule into the new ThisWorkbook object - boom, it worked fine - ugh!

Any one else out there encountered this and have you discovered any cause for it to just stop working?
