Script won't award badge

[grimmerschool2 (FestiveGrim)]

Hello.
I have this script, where it opens a gift live in a server, and award everyone playing with a badge.
The gift opens, but the badge awarding part doesn’t work.

Script:

local model = script.Parent

local specifiedDate = os.time({year = 2023, month = 12, day = 23, hour = 6, min = 36, sec = 0})  -- Change the date to the specified date

local badge = 1419255965342856 -- WHY ARE IDS OF NEW BADGES THIS LONG NOW LIKE WHAT

local badgeservice = game:GetService("BadgeService")

local players = game:GetService("Players")

local function checkDate()
	local currentDate = os.time()
	if currentDate >= specifiedDate then
		game.ServerStorage.car1.Parent = game.Workspace
		game.ServerStorage.car2.Parent = game.Workspace
		
		wait(1)
		for _, welds in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
			if welds:IsA("WeldConstraint") then
				welds:Destroy()
			end
		end
		
		local playerlist = players:GetPlayers()
		for _, player in pairs(playerlist) do
			badgeservice:AwardBadge(player.UserId, badge)
		end
		
		game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
			badgeservice:AwardBadge(plr.UserId, badge)
		end)
	end
end

-- Check the date every second
while wait(1) do
	checkDate()
end

Any errors? Also, try to add prints before the AwardBadge to see if they even run in the first place.

Can you set os.time? And why would you want to if you are trying to see if a date is after it?

Why not make your specifiedDate the date you want without using os.time.
That way you are comparing {year = 2023, month = 12, day = 23, hour = 6, min = 36, sec = 0} to actual os.time.

As @Pure_Bacn said, put a print statement before you use each variable for troubleshooting. For example print(specifiedDate, " ", os.time())

Are you sure that the badge ID is correct / the badge is able to be awarded? When I replaced it with the I’d of another page in the webbrowser it redirects me to a 404 Error page
