Cron Job that runs several times a day but only in-between certain time frames
I would like to have a minutely cron job which should only run between 7 a.m. and 8p.m. is that possible to setup? In theory I could check the time after the cron job started but every node being run costs credits now so I would like to not do that.

It seems that there is no direct support addressed in the documentation for creating a minutely cron job that runs only between specific hours like 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. However, theoretically, you can set up your cron job to trigger every minute, and then add a condition at the beginning of your workflow to check the current time and proceed with execution only if it's within your desired timeframe. Unfortunately, the current system constraints dictate that each node execution, including a time-check node, would consume workflow credits.
