Hi,

Reading the TOS I found out that I can’t run cron entries with intervals of less than 15 minutes. However, during the cron setup it is possible to choose periods like 1, 5 and 10 (and more, of course).

Is the TOS outdated? The rules changed? Can I run now a cron job every 5 minutes?

Just for your information, the PHP script that I want to run gathers data from an external API (data is returned in json format) and then it proceeds with a SQL insert/update.

Thanks in advance.
