This error indicates that the scheduled time for the next execution of a job is set to a time that is either in the past or is not valid.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Date/Time Setting: The most common cause is that the user has entered a date and time for the next execution that is earlier than the current system time.
  Time Zone Issues: If the system time zone settings are not aligned with the expected time zone for the job scheduling, it may lead to confusion about what constitutes "future" time.

  Review Time Zone Settings: Ensure that the time zone settings for the user and the job are correctly configured. You can check the user profile settings and the job scheduling settings to ensure they match.
  Reconfigure the Job: If the job was created incorrectly, you may need to delete and recreate it with the correct parameters.
  Check for Recurring Jobs: If the job is set to run at regular intervals, ensure that the next execution time is correctly calculated based on the last execution time.
