About This Schedule
The cron expression 0 0 */2 * * runs approximately every other day — specifically on odd-numbered days of the month (1, 3, 5, 7, ..., 31). This is the closest standard cron can get to a true "every other day" schedule.
The limitation is that at month boundaries, the gap may be shorter. For example, January 31 to February 1 is only 1 day apart. For most use cases, this approximation is acceptable.
