I'm finding scheduled tasks in ACF2016 very unreliable, especially if the interval is short (e.g. 1min, 5 mins). It suddenly for no reason sets the next run time to be hours in the future arbitrarily. Is this a known issue? Is there a 3rd party SaaS product anyone using instead to do the tasks instead? A lot of these tasks are critical to run, so we're looking for something resilient. Thanks in advance.

Besides the fact that ACF2016 is way past EOL, do you have all of the updates installed for both CF and Java? Is this a Windows machine?

Yep all installed. Waiting for ACF2023 to be stable. Is this a known ACF2016 issue? Looking at using a 3rd party, cron-job.org to fire the tasks instead.

I manage one Windows machine running ACF2018 and the scheduled tasks had gotten erratic. There are about 50 sites and there was an issue with threads getting stuck, which inadvertently caused issues with the tasks. If you have Fusion Reactor and see anything odd there ( threads getting stuck, etc… ), that might be your best bet. I resorted to firing some of the tasks from a remote LINUX machine. I manage many other CF servers and don’t have this problem on those. Good luck.

I don't remember what version we were on, good chance it was 2016, but we did go after an alternative scheduling service due to them not being fired from the CF scheduler. I haven't heard anything recently.

Thanks both, yep all locked down Chris.
