There is no such menu in domains. Scheduled tasks or Tools & Settings > Scheduled Tasks does not exist there

"Scheduled task" menu is missing because it was disabled in your service plan. Please contact Plesk server administrator and ask him to enable this menu.

Hi Steel Bis,

This should be checked directly with Cron schedule syntax, see here: https://crontab.guru/#0_9-17_*_*_*
