About This Schedule
Vercel Cron Jobs use standard 5-field cron syntax, configured in vercel.json:
{
"crons": [{
"path": "/api/daily-job",
"schedule": "0 0 * * *"
}]
}Key points about Vercel cron:
- Hobby plan: Minimum interval is 1 hour, max 1 cron job
- Pro plan: Minimum interval is 1 minute, max 40 cron jobs
- Enterprise: Custom limits
- UTC timezone: All schedules run in UTC
- Serverless: Each cron triggers an HTTP request to your specified API route
- Max duration: Subject to your plan's function timeout limits
Vercel cron jobs are ideal for serverless workloads: sending emails, generating reports, updating caches, and syncing data.
