Ok then here could be a few potential reasons:

Configuration Cache: Sometimes, changes to the cron schedule may take a while to propagate due to caching or other configuration delays. Ensure that you have redeployed or saved your changes correctly.

Time Zone Issues: Verify the time zone settings for your Azure Function. Azure Functions use UTC by default. If your application logic assumes a different time zone, this might lead to unexpected behavior.

Function Runtime Errors: If the function encounters an error and retries rapidly, it might appear as if it's running more frequently than scheduled. Check the logs for any errors or retry attempts.

Please share the logs to investigate further , Thanks
