Issue with cron frequency

[Andrew_Duca]

I have been using Render’s cron jobs for a bit now, with a frequency set to 5 minutes, but it is NOT running every 5 minutes. It is pretty irregular, it ran a few times in the last hour, not the 12 times I would’ve expected.

Any idea why? Going to just have our server do the cron if render cron doesn’t reliably do it at the interval we specify.

Hey Andrew,
From those timestamps it looks like you’re running into this - https://render.com/docs/cronjobs#what-happens-if-my-job-hasnt-finished-by-the-time-of-the-next-scheduled-run perhaps?
