CRON not running as scheduled | Railway | Page 1

Hey everyone 👋

Context:
I have a simple cron job scheduled to run at 2PM every Saturday. The process gets exited correctly after each run.

The project ID in which the job is ran is dc48fff2-30f1-489f-882d-d3dfef084c75.

Problem:
The schedule is not being respected; it should've ran the 16th (past Saturday) as well as the 24th of last month. I've attached a screenshot of the interface; please notice that these two dates are missing; the cron job did not run.

Let me know if there's anything I can do from my end. I can give more context if needed.
Thanks a lot!
Marco

Hey there @languid zodiac - I have a really bad workaround, so in our prelimary investigation, it seemed that there was a lot of execution booked https://help.railway.app/questions/cron-not-running-as-defined-ad5b0d11

#

on that exact time, so what that means, your code didn't run. Can you add a 15 minute offset if you don't mind me asking. We have some work that we are planning for that's going to overhaul the whole system.

Thank you for your fast response 🙏

What exactly do you mean by adding a 15mn offset? Should I change the cron schedule to run at 2:15pm instead?

that's indeed what Angelo meant to say

Yep

#

So- we use Temporal to schedule code runs, it seemed that the workflow was overbooked, which is a bad experience I know. We have a fix planned that would address this

Alright I'll make that change and I'll get back to you in case it doesn't help. In the meantime I believe we can close this ticket.

Thanks a lot for your time 🙏
