I am currently using the Hobby plan on Render. I recently deployed a backend server, but I’m having trouble getting the cron jobs to work. It seems like the server might be spinning down when idle, which could be preventing the cron jobs from executing. If I upgrade to a premium plan, will this issue be resolved? Specifically, I’d like to know if the cron jobs will run as expected. For context, I’ve scheduled them to run every 10 minutes.
If the service is using a free instance type then it will sleep so if you’re implementing a cron type pattern within the service then they will not run when the service is sleeping.
You would need to change to use a paid instance type here to keep the service running.
