Question

I’ve never experienced this issue before, despite a few projects using celerybeat and django-celery. I have used redis for the backend.

For some reason, periodic tasks are being run every 5 second, regardless of what the interval is set as. I know that the beat scheduler does in fact look at django-celery scheduler because when I disable the task, it stops running. However, regardless of whether I set it to run every 3 hours… or every 5 minutes… the task continues to run every 5 seconds.

Any ideas as to what’s wrong?

Apparently this is a new issue that the celery team is addressing.
