👋 I’ve got this Dagster Instance error, I believe it happened because I’ve set an “impossible” cron in some of my schedules (0 0 31 2 *). I needed it because in test environment I don’t want a particular schedule to ever run, so I’ve set the impossible cron. I’ve fixed by turning off the schedule on dagit and no errors are showing up since

Hi Riccardo. Ideally we would populate the error at definition time so it wouldn't be possible to set an "impossible" schedule, but glad that things are working for you after turning off the schedule
