Guys, I sat all day and came to the following conclusion. Cordova notifications work so-so and for reliability it is better to use the most typical simple designs. In my case, notifications need to be sent daily at 21:00. “Trigger every” does not work. It worked for me for ionic 3, but after switching to ionic 5 it began to get stuck like yours.

Solution: in a loop, create several “trigger at” notifications for the required dates, instead of one with “trigger every”. For me, it’s enough to create notifications 10 days in advance and update these notifications every time the application is launched. To update, it is enough with these 10 notifications to put down the same ID every time.
