I want a job to trigger every 15 minutes but it is consistently triggering every 30 minutes.

UPDATE:

I've simplified the problem by just running:

kubectl run hello --schedule="*/1 * * * *" --restart=OnFailure --image=busybox -- /bin/sh -c "date; echo Hello from the Kubernetes cluster"

As specified in the docs here: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/job/automated-tasks-with-cron-jobs/

and yet the job still refuses to run on time.

$ kubectl get cronjobs
NAME               SCHEDULE      SUSPEND   ACTIVE    LAST SCHEDULE   AGE
hello              */1 * * * *   False     1         5m              30m
hello2             */1 * * * *   False     1         5m              12m

It took 25 minutes for the command line created cronjob to run and 7 minutes for the cronjob created from yaml. They were both finally scheduled at the same time so it's almost like etcd finally woke up and did something?

ORIGINAL ISSUE:

When I drill into an active job I see Status: Terminated: Completed but Age: 25 minutes or something greater than 15.

In the logs I see that the python script meant to run has completed it's final print statement. The script takes about ~2min to complete based on it's output file in s3. Then no new job is scheduled for 28 more minutes.

I have tried with different configurations:

Schedule: */15 * * * * AND Schedule: 0,15,30,45 * * * *

As well as

Concurrency Policy: Forbid AND Concurrency Policy: Replace

What else could be going wrong here?
