How do I change the dyno plan used by Heroku Scheduler?

Issue

I'm running tasks on Heroku Scheduler but I don't know how to change the dyno plan used to run the tasks.

Resolution

Heroku Scheduler spins one-off dynos to run your scheduled jobs. For one-off dynos-

• Apps using free or hobby dynos will use the same plan for one-off dynos as well.
• Apps using Professional Dynos(Standard and Performance) will let you choose any of the Professional plans for one-off dynos.

More information here: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/one-off-dynos#one-off-dyno-type.

For apps using Professional dynos, Heroku Scheduler will default to Standard-1X dynos. You can override this from the Heroku Scheduler dashboard.

Follow the steps below to change the plan:

1. Click on the Heroku Scheduler addon from the Resources tab on the dashboard or run the command heroku addons:open scheduler from the CLI.
2. Click edit on your scheduled job (usually indicated with a pencil).
3. Under Run Command, look for a dropdown that allows you to select the dyno plan.
4. Save Job.

That's it!
