Questions

How do I convert a cron expression from HKT to AST?

AST is currently 12 hours behind HKT. Subtract 12 hours to the hour field, and shift the day-of-week if the time crosses midnight. For example, 0 9 * * 1-5 (weekdays at 09:00 HKT) becomes 0 21 * * 0-4 in AST.

What is the time difference between HKT and AST?

Hong Kong Time is UTC+8 and Atlantic Time is UTC-4 / UTC-3. Right now aST is currently 12 hours behind HKT.

Does daylight saving time affect HKT to AST cron conversion?

AST observes daylight saving time, so the difference between HKT (UTC+8) and AST (UTC-4 / UTC-3) changes during the year. Re-check your converted cron after each DST change.

What is midnight HKT in AST cron?

Midnight in HKT (0 0 * * *) is 0 12 * * * in AST, on the previous day.
