Batch task failed: NullReferenceException

Hello,
we have a custom batch job setup which runs daily at 22:00.
This job is already more than 1 year running successfully and there were no changes in the code recently.
We just changed the /scheduled start date/time/ from 22:00 to 03:00 and we got error messages:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Batch task failed: NullReferenceException
Have anyone expereince same issue after changing the start time?
What do we have to pay attention?
One thing I'm thinking is that if I go to recurrence the Start time is still 22:00 there but /Scheduled start date / time/ is 03:00. 
Can that be a problem and I have to change the /recurrence/ time to 03:00 too?
Thanks and regards

    Hi Johnny,
     
    What is this batch job about? If it trying to get details based on a date? Maybe due to running the batch on one day later, it has some issues?

    Hi,
    Judging from the error message, this is a null reference exception when the code accesses the object, you can try to change the /recurrence/ time to 03:00 too. Have you checked the log of the batch job and does it provide more error information? Did you change the other configuration of the batch job before you changed the scheduled start time?
    Best regards,
    Kevin
