Meta value does not save for scheduled posts

I had a similar problem with a custom metabox. The problem was the use of $post_id inside the save-function.

What WordPress function to use to get meta value by using meta keys?

As the solution suggested in comments worked out for you, I’ll just post that as answer over here. You need to replace the_ID() function in your get_post_meta(the_ID(), ‘nova_price’, true); call.
