hi everyone, I just wanted to try the new cron job feature that was recently announced
for some reason I have a cron job that has been stuck for the last 20 minutes. all the ones before executed within 5-10 seconds.
I also tried going back to the old cron job logic now, but the current one is still executing

the project is just a basic api call
const axios = require('axios');
require('dotenv').config();
async function fetchData() {
try {
const url = "https://....";
if (url) {
console.log(`Sending request to: ${url}`)
const response = await axios.get(url, {
headers: {
'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.API_KEY}`
}
});
console.log(response.data); // Handle response
} else {
console.warn(`Skipping request because no url is set.`)
}
} catch (error) {
console.error(error); // Handle error
}
}
fetchData();`

just for further clarification
I had the new cron logic running for around 30-40 minutes and it executed every 5 minutes. took around 5-10 seconds each time.
one execution got stuck for around 20 minutes before I went back to the old cron logic

Gotcha, we are conducting an investigation to see the source of the issue.

Okay- the cron seems to be unstuck or did you apply the revert flag on the feature?

I applied the revert flag to the old logic around 6-7 hours ago. Would still be interesting why it was stuck on the new logic

also now on the new logic ( I wanted to try it again), it looks like this which I think is wrong, right?

I also am having the same issue…
At the moment when its stuck i duplicate the service and delete the offending service. This seems to resolve the issue for a few hours until it gets stuck again.
This never happend on the v1 cron. Is there a way forward or do we need to revert back to the old cron experience?

You should likely revert to the old cron experience.

You can do so via the service settings, scroll down to feature flags, and revert the feature.
