Countdown trigger not triggering

I apologize if this is a common one, I couldn't find an answer anywhere.
I have a countdown to a specific clock time (let's say 11 AM) on overlay 2 and an image loop running on overlay 4. When the countdown reaches 0, I'd like both overlays to turn off.
On the countdown title I created a trigger for oncountdowncompletion with a function of overlayinputalloff. The countdown itself seems to work perfectly but whenever it reaches 0 nothing happens. I've tried triggering with oncompletion as well as setting the function to just turning off overlay 2 or 4 - nothing.
Can someone please tell me what I'm missing?

Make sure you're doing it right. The trigger must be set to the countdown timer title itself Guillaume

@ pd123456
Can you clarify if you are using a an XAML Timer Input or the Countdown feature of the Production clocks (won't work)?

 Using XAML. I took a screenshot of how the timer is setup. That tutorial is actually what gave me the idea. I have found that if the timer is set to the traditional x second countdown, it does work as expected. It does not work as I'm showing it. Is this a bug, a usage nobody has thought of, or am I missing something?

@ pd123456
I think that issue is that the time of day never completes...
AFAIK, what you are attempting will not work.

IceStream, looks like you're right, which is unfortunate as reaching the specified time does occur so I'd expect vMix to mark it as completed.
Really didn't want to have to go learn yet another new program but....
Created a shortcut to the F1 key that clears all overlays
Installed autohotkey
Created this script:
SetTitleMatchMode 2
IfWinExist, vMix
WinActivate
Send {F1}
Scheduled it to run every Sunday @ 11 with Windows task scheduler.
Does what I need and maybe opens the door to even more automation such as autolaunching vmix, starting the overlays, starting the stream...
