How to automatically execute a script every 5 minutes on Apps Script?

Question

Google Apps Script

I need the script to be executed every 5 minutes automatically without a trigger (the trigger doesn't work for some reason). It may be possible to write code that will run the script every 5 minutes directly into the script.

Answer 1

Hello, triggers can be created in two ways either manually
or programmatically

function myFunction() {
  Logger.log('1')
}

function createTimeDrivenTriggers() {
  ScriptApp.newTrigger('myFunction')
        .timeBased()
        .everyMinutes(1)
        .create();
}

One problem is that they have limitations. The total duration of the functions fired by the trigger cannot exceed one hour per day: this is one of the limits of the Apps Scripts system. If you call every 5 minutes, you get 288 runs per day, i.e. 12 seconds each (average). I assume that your script does not keep within this time. It is necessary either to optimize, or to launch not so often.
