Good to know
Uses UTC and standard five-field cron semantics. Sunday is 0 or 7. When both day fields are restricted, either may match. Names, macros, seconds, L, W, and # are not supported. Search is limited to five years.

Common questions and mistakes
Which cron format does this tool support?
Use five fields in this order: minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week. For example, 0 9 * * 1-5 means 09:00 UTC Monday through Friday. This tool does not accept Quartz seconds fields or named months and weekdays.
Why can both day fields change the schedule?
With restricted day-of-month and day-of-week fields, standard cron allows either to match. For example, 0 9 1 * 1 runs on the first day of a month and on Mondays. If either day field begins with *, both field checks apply. Always compare with your scheduler’s own dialect and time-zone settings.
