# Schedules

You can create a schedule to automatically run tests during selected hourly blocks between 3:00 AM and 10:00 PM, Monday to Sunday. The hours between 11:00 PM and 2:59 AM UTC are reserved for maintenance and cannot be selected

When configuring a schedule, you can:

* Select flows using one of the following options:
  * **All** – Run all available flows.
  * **Tags** – Include or exclude flows based on assigned tags.
  * **Recipe** – Run only flows triggered by a specific recipe.
* Set the number of consecutive failures (1–5) before the schedule is automatically paused.
* Set the schedule state to either **Active** or **Paused**, allowing you to control whether the schedule is currently running or temporarily disabled.
