Hello,
I should have asked only for next_run_date and state and failure_count. Do you see any value for failure_count column. Seems you have a failure in running of this job and whereever are you , what's the time?
You can also run this job manually using and see if run_count goes up or failure and it schedules the job for tommorrow as well.
exec DBMS_SCHEDULER.RUN_JOB('CLOUSER',TRUE);Based on your information, your next_run_date should be set to 19 APr @ 12:10 AM.
Here is example based on your information
BEGIN
   sys.DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job (
      job_name          => '"SCHEMA_NAME"."CLOUSER"',
      job_type          => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
      job_action        => 'DECLARE
begin
  po_closure varchar2(..) := ''some_value'';
  schema_name.package_name.procedure(po_closure);
commit;
end;
      repeat_interval   => 'FREQ=DAILY;BYMINUTE=10;BYSECOND=0',
      start_date        => SYSTIMESTAMP AT TIME ZONE 'US/Eastern',
      job_class         => 'DEFAULT_JOB_CLASS',
      auto_drop         => FALSE,
      enabled           => TRUE
   sys.DBMS_SCHEDULER.set_attribute (name        => '"SCHEMA_NAME"."CLOUSER"',
                                     attribute   => 'restartable',
                                     VALUE       => TRUE);
   sys.DBMS_SCHEDULER.enable ('"SCHEMA_NAME"."CLOUSER"');
END;Regards
