[DOCS ][Okta Backend] Scheduled tasks fail with TypeError

[billabongrob]

In the documents the scheduler mentions:

schedule: env.scheduler.createScheduledTaskRunner({
        frequency: { days: 1 },
      }),

This will result in an error such as:

] Backend failed to start up TypeError: Cannot use 'in' operator to search for 'cron' in undefined

Once another timeout is added, this works fine. As such:

      schedule: env.scheduler.createScheduledTaskRunner({
        frequency: { days: 1 },
        timeout: { minutes: 240 },
      }),

Not sure if Bug or not - will update README. (When time allows... lol)

good find, surprised this doesn't throw a typescript error...
