telegram bot api python run_daily method

Question

Hey i am trying to run a telegram bot on a daily base so i tried different things.

updater = Updater(<botkey>, use_context=True)
dp = updater.dispatcher
dp.job_queue.run_daily(pollen, datetime.time(hour=20, minute=9), days=(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6))
dp.add_error_handler(error)
updater.start_polling()
updater.idle()

def pollen(update, context):
    bot.send_message(chat_id=chat_id, text='text')

or

updater = Updater(<botkey>, use_context=True)
dp = updater.dispatcher
dp.add_handler(CommandHandler('start', creatJobs, pass_job_queue=True, pass_chat_data=True))
dp.add_error_handler(error)
updater.start_polling()
updater.idle()

def pollen(update, context):
    bot.send_message(chat_id=chat_id, text='text')


def creatJobs(update, context):
    new_job = context.job_queue.run_daily(pollen, datetime.time(hour=20, minute=9), days=(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), context=chat_id)
    context.chat_data['job'] = new_job

or

updater = Updater(<botkey>, use_context=True)
dp = updater.dispatcher
dp.add_handler(CommandHandler('start', creatJobs, pass_job_queue=True, pass_chat_data=True))
dp.add_error_handler(error)
updater.start_polling()
updater.idle()

def pollen(update, context):
    bot.send_message(chat_id=chat_id, text='text')

def creatJobs(update, context):
    context.job_queue.run_daily(reset, pollreset, days=(0,1,2,3,4,5,6))

but nothing works, i am developing on windows and python 3.8 imports always the same

import logging, re, datetime, time

import telegram
from telegram import InlineKeyboardButton, InlineKeyboardMarkup, Location
from telegram.ext import (Updater, CommandHandler, MessageHandler, Filters, ConversationHandler, CallbackQueryHandler)

Due to a bug click here Job_queue is skipping job if timezone is not provided for job.run_daily.

Add timezone in your code it will run perfectly.

datetime.time(hour=6, minute=27, tzinfo=pytz.timezone('Asia/Kolkata'))

Refer the below code if you get any error.

from telegram.ext import Updater, CommandHandler
import logging, datetime, pytz

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO,
                    format='%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s')
logger = logging.getLogger()


def start(update, context):
    context.job_queue.run_daily(msg,
                                datetime.time(hour=6, minute=27, tzinfo=pytz.timezone('Asia/Kolkata')),
                                days=(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), context=update.message.chat_id)

def msg(context):
    context.bot.send_message(chat_id=context.job.context, text='text')

def error(update, context):
    """Log Errors caused by Updates."""
    logger.warning('Update "%s" caused error "%s"', update, context.error)


def main():
    updater = Updater( < YOUR_TOKEN > , use_context=True)
    dp = updater.dispatcher
    dp.add_handler(CommandHandler("start", start, pass_job_queue=True))
    dp.add_error_handler(error)

    updater.start_polling()
    updater.idle()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
