Why was my cron job disabled?

Your cron job will fail when your web server is down/unreachable, or it returns an HTTP status code other than 2xx (200 - 204).

When your cron job fails 100 consecutive times, we will back off linearly:

  • After 100 consecutive failures, we remove the next queued execution.
  • After 101 consecutive failures, we remove the next 2 queued executions.
  • After 102 consecutive failures, we remove the next 3 queued executions.
  • ...

Queued executions with payload won't be removed.

In the free plan, cron jobs will be disabled after 150 consecutive failures.
