codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix App automations should support minute-level schedules [1 participants]

What variant of Codex are you using? App (Windows)

What feature would you like to see? Add minute-level scheduling support for automations in Codex App.

Right now cron automations appear limited to hourly or weekly RRULE shapes, and the UI/tooling rejects or does not support minute-level schedules such as:

• RRULE:FREQ=MINUTELY;INTERVAL=20
• RRULE:FREQ=MINUTELY;INTERVAL=1

This blocks common use cases like:

• running a lightweight automation every 5/10/20 minutes
• using short-interval maintenance or monitoring loops
• matching the cadence already expected by thread/heartbeat-style automation workflows

Requested behavior:

• support minute-level recurring schedules in the App automation flow
• either allow generic RRULE minute intervals, or explicitly support a bounded set like every 1/5/10/15/20/30 minutes
• validate and display these schedules correctly in the UI instead of silently falling back or rejecting them
• document which automation types support which RRULE forms

Additional information I verified locally that Codex stores automation definitions under the user data directory and accepts hourly RRULEs like: RRULE:FREQ=HOURLY;INTERVAL=1;BYMINUTE=0;BYDAY=SU,MO,TU,WE,TH,FR,SA

But there does not seem to be a supported way to express "every 20 minutes" for the App automation flow, even though that is a practical and expected cadence.

If full generic RRULE support is out of scope, even a narrower App-side feature that exposes minute-based intervals for supported automation types would solve the immediate problem.
