Things to check

Note
Runs 720 times per day
This is a high firing rate. Overlapping executions are likely if the job takes longer than the interval, and most hosted schedulers meter invocations.
Fix: Add a lock so runs cannot overlap, and confirm your platform allows this frequency (Vercel Hobby plans are limited to daily cron jobs).
