Before this, I pushed an update to most of my services (relatively in succession),
So at any 1 point in time, there were like 3 builds running concurrently.
For some reason after everything is built and deployed, the cron is just no longer running throghout anymore.
This is NOT the first time I have experienced this, sometimes the cronjobs would just not work, and I would typically fix this by redeploying.
There are NO logs, no crashes, as I have tested this locally and my code works

Even the 'Run now' button doesnt make the cron job to run

This is currently under investigation and unfortunately we do not have an ETA to share yet.
Please note that we do not guarantee cron jobs will be executed on the dot; there may be a slight delay of up to a few minutes from the time it's scheduled to run, including when you invoke it through the "Run now" button. A few minutes of delay is normal, but a delay of more than 10~15 minutes is not.

Its not a minor delay, instead of running every 5 minutes, its not running for more than 3 hours now. Is that sounds reasonable to you?

I understand and agree that is not a minor delay in the slightest. Wanted to reinform that slight drift is to be expected but that level is not ideal.
As I had said previously, we currently are investigating the cause of this and working towards a fix. I do not have a set ETA on when that will be out. I appreciate your patience with this!

looks like this is a bigger issue outside yes? I mean I am in a hobby plan for a reason, and this is to be expected :)

I don't think that's a valid assumption to make for any plan. It's a cron job, it should be cronning.

No what I mean is like I do not expect it to run at like the very dot. A drift of a couple of minutes is ok, but of course if you set the Cron at x time and it appears to run x + 2 hours, then something is indeed wrong

And I believe Railway prioritizes cron timeliness for the higher tiers no?

When we have to start several thousand cron jobs every 5 minutes, there will be some inevitable drift, but we have set up monitoring for missed runs and will be looking into what we can do to prevent that.
