Systemd timer for unattended upgrades

I try to configure unattended upgrades with systemd timer as explained here

I configured /etc/systemd/system/apt-daily-upgrade.timer.d/override.conf file like that :

[Unit]
Description=Daily apt upgrade and clean activities
After=apt-daily.timer

[Timer]
OnCalendar=Mon,Wed,Fri 6:00
RandomizedDelaySec=60m
Persistent=true

[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target

When I check when will be next trigger I get :

# systemctl status apt-daily-upgrade.timer
● apt-daily-upgrade.timer - Daily apt upgrade and clean activities
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/apt-daily-upgrade.timer; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
  Drop-In: /etc/systemd/system/apt-daily-upgrade.timer.d
           └─override.conf
   Active: active (waiting) since Wed 2020-03-11 13:23:17 UTC; 53min ago
  Trigger: Thu 2020-03-12 06:31:32 UTC; 16h left

So it supposes to be triggered next thursday while Thus is not definied in OnCalendar parameter.

Don't see what I miss :/

Thanks

found, timers are cumulative, so existing timers should be reset :

[Timer]
OnCalendar=
OnCalendar=Mon,Wed,Fri 6:00

It now works fine.
