The exact same thing is happening to me. My last successful CRON ran at 20/03/2022 11:15:00 GMT. I was also running it every 2 minutes. It has been working fine for 3 months. There are no errors or warnings anywhere I can see. The cron was not ā€œautomatically deletedā€ for taking more than 5 seconds, cos it was still there. Iā€™ve deleted it and set it up again, nothing. Unfortunately ā€œinfinity freeā€ block outside CRONs from other servers accessing their servers. Iā€™ve even tried using CURL to bypass this but it is also blocked. ---

Huh. My guess is that the downtime yesterday may have affected this. Hopefully more information will be available soon. @DaveTheDuck, can you please provide your EPIZ\_ username? Thanks! ---

I may have spoken too soon. Stopped working again after 22/03/2022 10:25:20. Maybe because I deleted the original one and added a new one, so maybe itā€™s the new one thatā€™s not working. ---

@DaveTheDuck my cron is working. In my case I have deleted the original and create a new one maybe 10 times. I have only one cron job in all my cron job list. Itā€™s configured to run each 2 min but in fact runs each 2,3 or 4 min. ---

Itā€™s working again at 22/03/2022 14:31:35. I delete the CRON again which was for every 2 minutes and recreated it for every 5 minutes. I think this is when it started working again. I will experiment later but it seems the only time it has worked today is when the CRON was for 5 minutes and 2 minute CRONs have not worked at all today. ---
