For standard 5-field cron, the safest every-hour schedule is 0 * * * *.
Every hour at minute 0
0 * * * *
Every hour at minute 15
15 * * * *
Every hour from 09:00 to 17:00
0 9-17 * * *

0 * * * 1-5
Why jobs run at unexpected times
- Your server timezone is UTC, but your expected schedule is local time.
- You used */60 in minute field (non-portable or confusing).
- The platform uses 6-field cron (with seconds) instead of 5 fields.
