About This Schedule
The cron expression */30 * * * 1-5 fires at the top and bottom of every hour on weekdays — :00 and :30, all day, Monday through Friday. This produces 48 executions per weekday (240 per week).
Half-hourly weekday schedules provide regular updates without the intensity of every-5-minute monitoring. Common uses include periodic data sync, regular API polling, bi-hourly dashboard refreshes, and moderate-frequency queue processing that pauses on weekends.
To limit to business hours, add an hour range: */30 9-17 * * 1-5 runs every 30 minutes from 9 AM to 5 PM on weekdays (18 runs per day instead of 48).
