An additional schedule is required for an evening class which runs 6pm to 9pm once a week. The default daily schedule uses available session with the during work hours trigger so it`s not possible to use multiple pre-stage schedules. There are 30 - 40 hosts required during the day schedule which normally runs 8:30 to 3pm before scaling in with medium aggressiveness. The evening class only requires 6 hosts so leaving the hosts running all day until 9pm is not cost effective. Manually clearing sessions and shutting down hosts is the only way to current achieve this requirement.
Pre-Stage multiple schedules not available with available sessions and during work hours trigger

We run an environment with above 10k users and we have found that available sessions scaling logic works best for us.
At the same time we encounter several login waves. Currently whatever savings we are getting from powering off hosts in afternoon/evening are basically wasted on prestaging a high amount of session hosts in the morning waiting for user connections for hours.
This feature request: To enable multiple pre-staging schedules whilst using available sessions scaling logic would greatly improve cost efficiency and client satisfaction.
We have tried and sadly other scaling logics simply do not work good enough for our environment to justify using them in order to benefit from the multiple pre-staging schedules.
That is a great idea!
Supporting multiple pre-staging schedules within Available Sessions scaling logic would let us right-size capacity ahead of each wave instead of over-provisioning for one big morning peak — a meaningful win for both cost and end-user experience.
+1 from us — hoping this gets checked on.
