Cron for every Saturday at 2am

A common maintenance window. Note that 02:00 is exactly the hour daylight-saving transitions move, so this run can be skipped or repeated twice a year outside UTC.

Things to check

  • Note

    Interpreted in UTC

    A cron expression has no timezone of its own — the scheduler's zone decides when it fires. These times are computed in UTC. The same expression on a host in another zone runs at a different moment.

    Fix: Set the schedule timezone explicitly (TZ= or CRON_TZ= in crontab, `timeZone` in Kubernetes, or the scheduler's own setting). Vercel Cron Jobs always run in UTC.
