The specific issue with this case is that the scheduler tracks how many times a task has been executed and prevents your "repeats=1" task to be executed again because times_run is probably exceeding the value. That being said (i.e. you'd need to reset times_run too) be aware that modifying scheduler_task records is not supported: if the underlying tables will change (thing that can totally happen in a future release) your code won't work.
