3 days ago Hi,
Thank you for raising this issue and providing detailed information. I've created a minimal reproduction repository for this case to verify whether cron is behaving as expected. The purpose of this repository is to simulate a cron job accurately with a schedule that triggers every Tuesday at 6 PM UTC.
Results from the Tests
After running multiple tests through this repo, the behavior you mentioned does not arise:
- The cron job consistently triggers at 6 PM UTC every Tuesday (as intended).
- The job does not trigger at any incorrect times, like Sunday, Monday, or any other unintended day.
You can find the reproduction repository here:
👉 GitHub repo: cron-reproductions/918
I recommend pulling down the minimal reproduction repository and trying it within your environment directly.
If the issue persists or if you notice any anomalies while testing it in isolation, please share the findings and we’ll dig deeper.

Description
I want my cron job to trigger on a Tuesday every week at 6pm, for that I created a new cronjob that does that, but it triggers whenever it wants, I tried different methods in usage but it still doesn't trigger on the time I want it to trigger. Note: after 10 weeks it triggered yesterday at 6pm 12/11/2024 Here is the code:
