The below cron job is set to run every min updating timers and according to the log just stops when someone joins the server. It does not throw any error codes. The bot doesn't crash. I'm hoping someone can tell me why its doing that.
Here is the cron job:
cron.schedule('* * * * *', function () {
bot.channels.cache.filter((channel) => channel.name.endsWith('events')).forEach((channel) => {
channel.messages.fetch({
limit: 100
}).then(messages => {
messages.forEach(message => {
if (message.embeds.length > 0) {
const embed = message.embeds[0]
let messageID;
let event_date;
let event_time;
if (embed.color === 65280) {
messageID = message.id
event_date = message.embeds[0].fields[0].value
event_time = message.embeds[0].fields[1].value.slice(0, -4)
let now = Date.now()
const targetDate = new Date(`${event_date} ${event_time}:00`)
var difference = (targetDate - now) / 1000;
var days = Math.floor(difference / (3600 * 24));
var hours = Math.floor((difference - (days * (3600 * 24))) / 3600);
var minutes = Math.floor((difference - (days * (3600 * 24)) - (hours * 3600)) / 60);
let timeTill;
if (days > 0) {
timeTill = `${days} Days ${hours} Hours ${minutes} Min`
} else if (days === 0 && hours > 0) {
timeTill = `${hours} Hours ${minutes} Min`
} else if (days === 0 && hours === 0) {
timeTill = `${minutes} Min`
} else if (difference <= 0) {
timeTill = `Event Started - get with <@!${row.hostID}> to join up in-game.`
}
embed.fields[9] = {
name: 'Starts in:',
value: `${timeTill}`,
inline: false
}
message.edit(new Discord.MessageEmbed(embed)).catch(error => {
console.error(error);
})
console.log(`Event ${message.embeds[0].author.name} has been edited. New start time is ${timeTill}.`)
} else {
return
}
} else {
return
}
})
})
})
})
Here is a log of it stopping when someone joins

Not sure why, but the comment above solved the issue.
"You could try to replace cron.schedule() with setInterval(). That way you know if it is an issue with cron. – Skulaurun Mrusal"
