Cron Trigger Not Starting at Correct Interval (Self-Hosted on Hostinger)

Hi,

I’m running n8n self-hosted on Hostinger and noticed that the Cron trigger doesn’t start at the correct interval when set to more than 60 seconds (e.g., 90 or 120 seconds). It always starts at 60-second marks regardless of the configured interval.

Any advice or workaround would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello @Zulqarnain_Sabir , could you please provide more information about your n8n setup and the workflow that can be used to reproduce this?

setting up n8n onhostinger was simple, hostinger provides one click install of n8n queue mode here is the link to it n8n VPS hosting | Secure and scalable automation

And workflow is pretty simple, want to trigger after every 90 seconds, i have attached picture of workflow

please share the actual workflow in a code block so we can check the properties of the scheduler

Has this been resolved yet? You can also set your scheduler to a Cron value like this

*/2 * * * *

The smallest unit cron supports is 60 seconds, so to run every 120, you would use */2. You can use perplexity to ask for any interval it will help give you the cron value.
