debugging tips
A job "not running" is often a misread schedule — the explanation and next-run list reveal the real timing.
Watch for the day-of-month vs day-of-week rule: when both are set, cron runs if either matches.
Check step values (*/5) and ranges carefully — the field breakdown shows each one.
No data leaves your device.
