Hi,
one of my customers has problems with his app: trecontacts

We have cron jobs scheduled for every minute, but they have not run
for the last hours.
Can someone please check?

Thanks,

Daniel

I'v had problems as well, 1-minute crons were not being called
starting around 2:26:am EST. They started working again around 5am
EST, then stopped again a couple of hours later. Currently they are
not working.

I changed my cron config to 2-minutes and those are working.

I had other crons that were at 5 and 10 minute intervals, those had no
issues.

Yes, my 5-minute cron job is working. The two 1-minute jobs are not
working.

I have exactly the same problem, 1 minute cron jobs not working on
apps.

Others seem to be working fine.

I have been having the same problem today. I thought it was something
in my code but clearly not.

Thank you for the reports and apologies for the cron problems you saw
today. We made some changes yesterday to improve performance for task
queues and this negatively impacted cron jobs that are running very
frequently, e.g. every minute. We've reverted these changes and
confirmed that cron jobs are running normally again. If you continue
to see problems with cron, please post additional details to this
thread. Thanks.

This issue has been resolved. It was the result of a configuration push we did to attempt to increase background worker throughput. We've rolled back the change.

More outages again this morning. All of my crons (not just 1-minute)
were dead from about 4-4:30am EST this morning

Hi guys, we are experimenting this issue with a cronjob that runs every 30'. It has been running normally up to 2 days ago. Does anybody have the same problem? greetings, Andres.
p.d: I apologize for my english.

Hi Andres,

I'd suggest to report the issue on a Public Issue Tracker as this seems to be a technical issue and you'd need to provide additional details such as the error message you are getting. Furthermore, this is very old thread and it is suggested to create a new one if needed.
