## Available Options

| Option              | Type             | Required | Default | Description                                                                            |
| ------------------- | ---------------- | -------- | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `intervalInMinutes` | `AllowedMinutes` | ✅       | —       | Interval in minutes. Must be one of the allowed values.                                |
| `fromHour`          | `Hour`           | ❌       | `0`     | Start hour (inclusive).                                                                |
| `toHour`            | `Hour`           | ❌       | `23`    | End hour (inclusive). If lower than `fromHour`, range is treated as crossing midnight. |
| `fromMinute`        | `Minute`         | ❌       | `0`     | Start minute (inclusive). Only applies to the first hour of the range.                 |
| `toMinute`          | `Minute`         | ❌       | `59`    | End minute (inclusive). Only applies to the last hour of the range.                    |
| `weekdaysOnly`      | `boolean`        | ❌       | `false` | Limits execution to weekdays (Mon–Fri) if true.                                        |
| `timezone`          | `UTCOffset`      | ❌       | `0`     | UTC offset (e.g., `-3` for UTC-3). Affects CRON scheduling context.                    |

---

## Allowed Intervals

The following minute intervals are supported:

```ts
[7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41];
```

These are intentionally non-standard (mostly primes) to minimize cron collision in shared environments.

---

## Timezone Support

You can configure the execution timezone using a UTC offset:

- Positive values (e.g., `3`) represent UTC+3
- Negative values (e.g., `-5`) represent UTC-5
- Default is `0` (UTC)

Internally, the offset is converted to an IANA-compatible timezone (e.g., `Etc/GMT+3` for UTC-3).
