How to create a CRON request?

Question

PHP

Connoisseurs, help me write a CRON request :) It is required to run the script every 5 minutes, but no more than 30 times in 12 hours :)) Is this possible at all?

Answer 1

What is it like? Why not just run it less than 5 minutes, because it will work for you 30 times and get up for a while.
I recommend */24 * * * * command
Once every 24 minutes it will run, which means it will run 30 times every 12 hours.

Answer 2

So call the script every 5 minutes, but in the script itself, keep the number of runs for the current day.
Where you will store this value is up to you (file, database, remote service)
