Overdue task reminder workflow error
Your main issue is putting the Pause into the workflow. Try avoiding those whenever possible!
I would recommend going much simpler with the following:
Workflow 'Send Notification'
Stage 1 : Send Email to [Assigned To]
Information Management Policy:
Based on Due Date - 2 Days > Initiate Workflow 'Send Notification'
Information Policy Timer Job... {Central Admin}. This is defaulted to running once a week on Friday. You would have to update it to process at least once a day and can select the time it runs, avoiding the middle of the night issue.
You can also use the notification workflow at other times, or manually kicked off
