Hide

Log in as an admin

Go to Site administration > Server > Tasks > Scheduled tasks

Edit the schedule of the 'Background processing for tags' (\core\task\tag_cron_task) task

Check 'Reset task schedule to defaults' and save changes

TEST - Check that the new schedule has the minute set to a random value from the range 0 - 59

TEST - Repeat few times if needed and check that the random minute is sometimes also set to a value higher than 23.

This code from ~~MDL-47221~~ is a copy & paste mistake:

    public function set_minute($minute, $expandr = true) {

        if ($minute === 'R' && $expandr) {

            $minute = mt_rand(self::HOURMIN, self::HOURMAX);

        $this->minute = $minute;

It should read MINUTEMIN and MINUTEMAX.

As a result, all randomly allocated tasks have always get random minute from the range 0 - 23 only.
