Description

In my app.ini I change from @daily 10m to @weekly 0 0 0 * * 0 and restart Gitea, but the cron schedule on the user interface doesn't update and stays at 10m time intervals. This creates bandwidth issues and hogs CPU resources.

I tested @weekly 0 0 0 * * 0,0 0 0 * * 0, @midnight, ... but everything I change doesn't update anything.

is [cron.update_mirrors] correct?

Gitea 1.16 is very old - upgrade to at least 1.17.

Please ensure Gitea read the correct app.ini (you changed).

This was the issue @lunny; I found another config in /etc/gitea/app.ini.

Whoops, I should of looked at my Gitea configuration file first. I don't know why I didn't look at this to begin with.. 🥲

Thank you Lunny ❤️
