The scheduled time does not take effect when the task status is error

[tsun424]

If the status of a task is error, this task runs every time when the OS cron job runs even it's not the scheduled time.
For example, we set the task scheduled time to */5 8-20 * * *, if it's error, it will be run even after 8pm until the task runs successfully.
Below snapshot shows the scenario:

@tsun424 this is expected behaviour AFAIK, so if for eg an API is down it will retry until it succeeds. However there should probably be an option here, eg $automatic_retry_on_fail = true

[tsun424]

The mechanism of retry is OK, but I think this retry should happen only during scheduled time. From my point of view, scheduled time should have higher priority in this scenario. If a new option will be added, how about $automatic_retry_out_schedule?

[brucealdridge]

it really depends on the job. because you say it should only happen during the scheduled time.
That works find if you have * 10-16 * * * but not if you have 0 0 * * *
Might make more sense to have a $retry_schedule option with the same format, default being * * * * *
