Every 15 minutes during business hours

Frequent checks — support queue alerts, inventory syncs — that are pointless overnight and at weekends.

Checked with the same parser Bex uses to validate schedules. Next run times are computed in your browser.

Cron expression

*/15 9-17 * * 1-5

minute	*/15
hour	9-17
day of month	*
month	*
day of week	1-5

Watch out for

The hour range 9-17 runs through 17:45, not 17:00; use 9-16 if the last run should be at 16:45.
Scheduled runs use Kubernetes Forbid concurrency: a run that would overlap a still-running one is skipped, not queued.
Bex does not set a per-job time zone: the cluster controller's clock decides. Bex's own next-run projection assumes UTC, as shown here.
