Obtaining the current date and time

I have an Action to fetch the current date and time that in itself works and works well. I need it so the that I can locate the next fixture. Unfortunately, despite having the call in the prompt and in the Model Reminder, it only actually fires the Action around 60% of the time.

When it doesn’t fire, it takes the current date and time as the date of training of the underlying AI model in use. What this means is that the next fixture it locates is actually in the past… not helpful.

I’ve tried variations on a theme but can’t make it any more straightforward in my prompt:

'IMPORTANT: always use the Action to fetch the current data and time".

Is there a method by which I could access the current date and time from an environment variable directly from the Pickaxe platform… ideally referencing a variable such as $date or similar.

Or… does anyone know of a 100% cast iron way to force the Action to trigger every-time?
