Cron job does not seem to be running as oftern as it should

[matthew-whelan]

The cron to check inbound email should be running every one minute, however, it only seems to be checking every thirty minutes or so.
Does anybody know what this could be?
It does not work, not just every minute as it should. I did set it to every 5 minutes, thinking it was maybe running too often, but that did not seem change anything.

Hi,
check your hosting provider restriction.
in my experiment, i have same random time cron in a hosting provider.
all "own hosted" or "dedicaced server" i have no this strange cron random time.

Ok thank you, yes I'll have a look into hosting provider restrictions. Thank you!

Hi matthew-whelan,

What web hosting and web server you're using? Try to rebuild your instance and recheck the issue.

[matthew-whelan]

My server is Apache /CloudLinux v7.9.0.
I did the rebuild, but the issue is still there unfortuenetly!

Ahh, I know what it is.

So the in the back end of my instance, I have the email to check every one minute.

However, the cron that is in my cpanel, which runs all the crons is to set to run at 11,27,34,45 mins.

Should I change that to every minute? Would that be ok?

thank you!

Ok perfect, thank you! I've updated that now, and it's all working fine!
