Vercel Cron Every Hour

Vercel Cron Jobs use standard 5-field cron syntax. To run every hour, add this to your vercel.json:

The schedule `0 * * * *` triggers your API route at minute 0 of every hour. Vercel cron jobs call an HTTP endpoint (an API route in your project), so the scheduled logic lives in a serverless function.

**Plan limits**: Hobby plan allows minimum 1-hour intervals and 1 cron job. Pro plan allows minimum 1-minute intervals and up to 10 cron jobs. Enterprise has custom limits. All cron jobs run in UTC. Vercel automatically retries failed executions once, with a 30-second timeout per invocation.
