Cron Job Not Executing Anymore

The cron feature was working just fine yesterday, today none of them ran. When I try to run the cron manually through the UI.. I get the following error.

"Failed to invoke cron execution

We were unable to start your cron execution. If this error persist, please contact support."

My settings are below. There's been no code changes and this has been working for months now.

Any thoughts? 

{
  "$schema": "https://railway.com/railway.schema.json",
  "build": {
    "builder": "RAILPACK",
    "buildCommand": "npx tsup jobs/poll-darkpool.ts"
  },
  "deploy": {
    "startCommand": "node dist/poll-darkpool.js",
    "restartPolicyType": "ON_FAILURE",
    "restartPolicyMaxRetries": 5
  },
  "environments": {
    "production": {
      "deploy": {
        "cronSchedule": "*/5 12-23 * * 1-5"
      }
    }
  }
}

I don't think so, I am seeing other people with similar issues though with unresolved tickets per some of those threads

Alright seems like if I remove that JSON all together and configure everything through the UI, it works?

Agreed. It seemed to break yesterday morning. Was working all day long on the 12/4 just fine.

Hey there!

I do see that we are working internally on crons specifically for Metal Builders and that your cron might have been effected, but that has already been fixed.
Please reopen if you're seeing issues again!

Best,
