  • */5 * * * * — every five minutes
  • 0 0 * * 0 — every Sunday at midnight
  • 0 9 * * MON-FRI — weekdays at 09:00
  • 0 0 1 * * — first day of every month
  • 0 */6 * * * — every six hours

Cron expressions always use the server timezone. Double-check that your cron daemon runs with the expected timezone, or convert the schedule to UTC before applying it to production systems.
