Scheduled Model won't export file

Question

I have a model that I have scheduled to run every day. The first thing that it does is calculate today's date and export a copy of the imported file with today's date. When ArcPro is open and I run it, there is no issue. When it's closed and the schedule starts it, it will not export the file. There's no error given and the rest of the model runs with no issue, but it will not export the file.

I've tried the copy tool to a csv, the export tool to a csv (this one will export the file, but after about a minute, it disappears), and table to excel tool to a xlsx.

I imagine it has something to do with using today's date as the file name, but I really need that information in it.

Please help!

So I ended up playing with it some more and I found the issue- For the next step after the export, I had it set up with a precondition of the export finishing first. That was the problem. I removed the precondition and it started working. It's not ideal, but it's working

That's the couple things I can think of off the top of my head.

Have you ran it in Pro, went to the Analysis History and saved it as a python file?  This will output the python used being the model and could make it easier to follow and see what is going on.

If you can't figure it out from that, if you could post the relevant code, could dive into it deeper.

No, it's actually the very first step in my model, so it's grabbing it directly from the source.
