Scheduled checks at specific times

It would be great to be able to run checks at specific times (like a cron job schedule), as we have an API that publishes certain customer-critical data daily at specific times. So instead of every X minutes which can be any time depending on when the check is first created, we would be able to run reliably at specific times.

    This is a must. We're talking about an app that does scheduled jobs, folks.

    Has there been any progress on this? This seems like an essential feature to have full control over the test running time.

    This would be incredibly valuable for us. The usage of our service is heavily skewed to UK and US working hours, and we’d really like to be able to run our checks more frequently during those hours and less frequently outside them. At the moment we’ve had to pick a frequency that is a lower than we’d like because otherwise it would break the bank.

    We are in need of this too. Our service goes down daily during night time and weekends. Having support for cron expression is what we need to handle the use cases like this. Right now checks run at time based on when its created which sometimes doesn’t work out based on when the job was last updated

    I have a similar need but using a browser check. My use case requires the ability to start a checkly script / job at a specific time every day, say 4AM, and again at 4PM. If I could specify the start time, I would also like to set the interval time, so in this example I would set the start time at 4AM, and the interval, every 12 hours.
