All profile fields are correct, as I've checked several times.

If you haven't altered the default settings on the cron script it can take up to an hour and a half to run.
From my understanding, by default, the cron scripts are triggered by the cron image in the footer on each page being loaded. So if the cron image isn't being loaded cron scripts don't run. If my understanding is correct then on a site with low activity levels it could be longer than an hour and a half before the script runs.
