About This Schedule
The cron expression */4 * * * * triggers a job every 4 minutes — at minutes 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, and 56 each hour.
With 15 executions per hour (360 per day), this is a practical schedule for tasks that need regular updates without the overhead of running every minute. Common use cases include dashboard data refreshes, webhook retry queues, and resource utilization monitoring.
Since 60 divides evenly by 4, the schedule is perfectly uniform with no awkward gaps at the hour boundary.
