CRON Restrictions
There are several restrictions when it comes to CRON expressions:
We are not allowed to specify the Day-of-month and Day-of-week fields in the same cron expression. If you specify a value (or a *) in one of the fields, you must use a ? (question mark) in the other.
Any cron expressions that lead to rates faster than 1 minute are not supported.
