Not a bug User group promotions - running every hour (at 20 mins past), NOT every 20 mins as stated in other threads

[VBX Co]

Affected version

2.2.9

We searched the forums to see how often user group promotions were expected to happen and found mention of every 20 mins in several posts.

When we checked our sites the cron is set to run at 20 mins past the hour; not every 20 mins.

Was this changed at some point or is an oversight/bug?

That is correct as of 2.2.9 - it is 20 minutes past the hour.

Okay, thanks, didn't notice that in the release notes - we'll put a custom cron in place to make it more frequent.

You probably want this (free) add-on; so when a user updates their profile the user-promotion is run 'instantly';

Excellent, thanks @Xon - our forums are half-built on your add-ons, amazing work, much appreciated.

Why did this change? I don't see anything at https://xenforo.com/community/threads/xenforo-2-2-9-released.205251/ for this.

I'm not saying it changed with 2.2.9 - I don't know if or when it changed.

That's what it currently is as of the latest release.

It has always been 20 minutes past the hour, at least on XF2.
