Released: October 7, 2025 (announced) / October 22, 2025 (live)
What's New
Scheduled tasks now support advanced scheduling with granular timing control, allowing you to configure complex schedules like "every 2 hours, Monday-Friday only."
Granular Timing Control
The new advanced scheduler gives you precise control over when tasks run:

- Day-of-Week Restrictions: Limit tasks to specific days (e.g., weekdays only)

- Complex Patterns: Combine multiple scheduling rules
