You set up a dbt Cloud job with this schedule:
schedule: '60 2 * * *'

What is the problem with this schedule?
AThe hour value 2 is invalid in cron syntax
BThe minute value 60 is invalid in cron syntax
CThe schedule runs too frequently
DThere is no problem; it is valid
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Check cron minute value

    Cron minutes must be between 0 and 59; 60 is invalid.
  2. Step 2: Check cron hour value

    Hour 2 is valid (0-23), so the problem is the minute value.
  3. Final Answer:

    The minute value 60 is invalid in cron syntax -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Cron minute max = 59, 60 invalid [OK]
Quick Trick: Cron minutes max 59, hours max 23 [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Focusing on the hour value instead of the minute
