Check the run log. Menu / more / run log.
Could you post the exported profile description along with the run log?
To post your profile or task here... Long press on the profile or task name / ( 3 dot menu with 4.0+ ) export / export "DESCRIPTION" to clipboard (not XML)
Any linked tasks will be exported with the profile they are linked to..
To be able to export, The beginner mode needs to be off and the profile needs to be named by you (Not the Tasker listed name. Tasker will list your profile with the context name if you have not given it one).
Profile: BEEPTEST (61)
Time: From 08:00 every 2m
Enter: Anon (62)
A1: Beep [ Frequency:6000 Duration:500 Amplitude:60 Stream:5 ]
Thanks!!

Prime suspect is the update to Android 5.1.1 on my S6
I agree, I have seen a few post of other contexts failing with screen off with lollipop.
One other possibility would be a bad tasker install on a update for tasker. You could try re- installing tasker then restore a older backup of tasker.
. But if that is the source of my problems, I would expect more posts here regarding this issue.

Perhaps you are the first of many.... :(
Was this a software upgrade or a new device with the new android OS.

Just to be clear on this one. If you do try deleting and re-installing tasker be sure you do not save the current data over any existing older back ups, if it is a tasker issue your current data is corrupted and can not be re-installed, you will need a back up made previously to the tasker update.
I have Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and it seems the problems started after the latest 5.1.1 update (i've had two 5.1.1 updates and the problem started after the latest).
It seems to also affect other applications such as Timely alarm app which is not at all reliable anymore.

Have you tried the dynamic time context? You can set the 'From' and 'Until' times with variables. Then within the task just set the variables to the next instance you want.
> If I understand what you mean that's the way I had it set up before the Samsung S6 update: the profile was set upon a time event with a start from..., repeat every...
No, this would not use the 'repeat every' option. Just the variable time 'from' and 'until'
I have my doubts it will work but it is worth a try..
> No, this would not use the 'repeat every' option. Just the variable time 'from' and 'until'
It would go like this..
Profile: Repeat
Context: Time / From %Repeat / until %Repeat
Task:
1. Variable set %Repeat to: %TIMES+300
This will repeat every 5 min (5*60seconds)
