Schedule a python script on heroku

Question

I deployed my python script on Heroku and trying to setup scheduler to run it every hour.

My Procfile:

run: cd src && python3 main.py

I scale this dyno with:

heroku ps:scale run=1

And in heroku scheduler I set it for run every hour with command

run

Deploy and I think that it will runs every hour, but it runs more often than I expect, every 10-15 minutes, how can I solve it?

Scale your "run" process type down to 0 with heroku ps:scale run=0. Thern, make sure you can run it in a one-off dyno, e.g. with heroku run python src/main.py.

Then in Heroku Scheduler configure the exact same command that you used to run it in a one-off dyno, and configure your required frequency (i.e. "Hourly").
