The simple scheduler builds on the crontab scheduler, but provides a simple set of presets instead of the full bloated crontab syntax.

Can be configured at /admin/config/system/cron/scheduler/simple

Run cron every: The preset to use as cron rule. This option can be overridden per job.

The presets available are:

Rule Preset name
* * * * * Every minute
*/15+@ * * * * Every 15 minutes
*/30+@ * * * * Every half hour
0+@ * * * * Every hour
0+@ */3 * * * Every 3rd hour
0+@ */6 * * * Every 6th hour
0+@ */12 * * * Every 12th hour
0+@ 0 * * * Every day
0+@ 0 * * 0 Every week

The simple scheduler has a hardcoded catch up of 300 seconds. If you need to configure this, you should use the crontab scheduler instead.
