 When Sidekiq (and Sidekiq-Cron) is not used in zero-downtime deployments, after the deployment is done Sidekiq-Cron starts to catch up. It will consider older jobs that missed their schedules during that time. By default, only jobs that should have started less than 1 minute ago are considered. This is problematic for some jobs, e.g., jobs that run once a day. If on average Sidekiq is shut down for 10 minutes during deployments, you can configure Sidekiq-Cron to consider jobs that were about to be scheduled during that time:

 Sidekiq-Cron is safe to use with multiple Sidekiq processes or nodes. It uses a Redis sorted set to determine that only the first process who asks can enqueue scheduled jobs into the queue.
