Hi,
I started a service, i decided to deploy on railway because of it easy way to deploy a cronjob(this from what i heard). Unfortunately, It is compleately unreliable, it runs 4 times and stops running forever. I thought it was a plan problem so i passed to hobby plan, I thought if you pay you must to have a reliable service, apparently not. My job run for 30sec as average every 15min, it runs 4times and then stops, then you need a manual redeploy to make it running for a bit, is not about delay(that is acceptable for me) is about the cron not working at all.

How much time is going to take to fix it?

Howdy! Definitely not ideal, so thank you very much for reporting! This does look like an issue with a current investigation we're working on that causes a few issues with CRONs defined in railway.json.

As a short-term fix, you could remove the cron declaration from railway.json and use the cron settings tab in the UI instead. It should have the same functionality, just in a different place.

Hi Noahd,

Thanks for answering, I now removed to railway.json and added via UI. Let you know tomorrow if in that way it works in a reliable way.
