I have a rule created recently that is set to repeat while the value of a boolean hub variable is true. It was repeating when I went to bed last night as the variable was true, but had stopped this morning when I checked, even though the variable was still true.
Should repeating actions continue working through the night or will hub maintenance interrupt them? Unfortunately I can't provide logs as some unconnected devices have debug logging that cannot be turned off and this prevents me going back far enough to find what I'm looking for.
Nothing should stop it, though it's possible things may slow down a bit while the maintenance (backup? I'm not really sure how much happens at this time anymore...) is happening. Logs would be your friend here. Not sure why you can't disable debug logs for the "unconnected devices," but perhaps you could just disable the device on Hubitat to stop the driver code from running, then re-enable it when you are no longer in this situation?
Then, as long as you have logging turned on for the rule (Action logging would probably be the most helpful, but Trigger and Events can't hurt, either), you should be able to see something.

Thanks. I'll monitor it and disable those devices temporarily if I have to.
The "unconnected" devices are the child devices for my room thermostats created by a Honeywell EvoHome integration (same/similar to Total Connect Comfort in the US I believe). Unfortunately this was something that a community member ported across from someone else's code on SmartThings and they are no longer using it/supporting it. The debug messages for each of the 8 thermostats generate 5 lines in the log each minute and the parent app creates 40 lines in the log per minute. So with 80 lines per minute it's no wonder I struggle to get to what I'm looking for! Until someone in the UK decides to develop it further I'm stuck with it this way.
If you'll point me to the code I'll see what I can do about killing the debug messages.

I feel really stupid now....
I've just gone into the app and found there IS a selection for Debug logging. I was looking at the child devices . I've deselected it and it's killed the logging on the app and reduced each device to a single info level event per minute. I can live with that!
Thanks for the offer of help though, I really appreciate it.

LOL, glad you found it, bet your hub will be happier too.
