It used to work, and then stopped

Describe the problem

I have the following config:

"packageRules": [
    {
      "matchUpdateTypes": [
        "minor",
        "patch"
      ],
      "automerge": true
    }
  ],
  "schedule": [
    "after 9am every weekend"
  ],
  "automergeSchedule": [
    "after 9am and before 5pm every weekday"
  ],

I want PRs to be created during the weekend (where CI consumption is low), and then be automerged in working hours (in case a problem appears). But the automerge is not happening because it's outside of the schedule.

Research direction
Investigate the logic in the Renovate source code that handles automergeSchedule and schedule. Look at files related to scheduling, such as `lib/workers/repository/process/schedule.ts` or `lib/workers/repository/update/branch/schedule.ts`. Determine why automergeSchedule is not triggered when schedule is outside the automergeSchedule window. Consider reading the discussion thread for additional context.
