It is just a general question about executeDelayed, as I can see some weird behavior that I cannot explain.

My code does a reading of a remote sensor, and delays the next reading by 24 hours, which generally works. Unless the remote sensor is not replying, then it does an executeDelayed for 1 hour to repeat and try again.

After an extended period of time, I can see an increased number of sensor reads for a 24 hour period. It started with 2, then increased to 4, then 7, now I have 13, maybe 14 of executions. It really should be 1 read per every 24 hour.

Does the executeDelayed is persistent between reboots/power cycles. Or what is the right way to flush any executeDelayed tasks.

Thanks in advance for the answer.
