Documents not publishing as scheduled

I have a course in which, as I have done many times in the past, I posted several documents scheduled to publish for students at specific dates and times. They are consistently failing to appear, both for my students and for me as the test student. I am running two identical courses (not Canvas sections, entirely separate courses) and one is working fine, while the other is not.
Additional info (see attached screenshots):
* The module is already published, with other visible documents in it.
* I have checked the publish dates for the individual files multiple times and have confirmed that the year of the publish date is correct (a problem I have encountered in the past in a copied course; I wish Canvas would provide a global fix for that, but that's another issue).
* I have confirmed that I can see the files in Instructor view but not in Student view, and have had a student confirm the latter.
I realize that I can immediately publish the files when I am alerted to the problem, but this is a complex class and I don't want to have to continually go in to check and override posting dates (which would negate the purpose of having the scheduled posting function in any case).
Screenshot 1: shows scheduled posting date of October 2 (it is now Oct. 14)
Screenshot 2: shows that within the module, Oct. 2 is set as posting date
Screenshot 3: shows module as it appears in student view on Oct. 14 (with document not visible)
Has anyone run into this before? Is there a fix for it?
