I created a custom cron job and tested on local server, where it needs to run

bin/magento cron:run

two times simultaneously and then that custom job is created and scheduled.

why is it like that ?

  • if you set CRON, your module's cron job automatic get schedule you don't need to run cron manually.

  • Yes it runs automatically, but first time when we need to execute cron:run, at that time it needs to run twice the run command to get the job scheduled..

  • that what i am saying, after set CRON, you don't need to run cron:run. based on your configuration in module it will run please check magento.stackexchange.com/questions/275556/…

Because its made to work like this.

It's from Magento documentation

"You must run cron twice: the first time to discover tasks to run and the second time — to run the tasks themselves. The second cron run must occur on or after the scheduled_at time for every task"

https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.3/config-guide/cli/config-cli-subcommands-cron.html
