# Execution time

Execution time describes a future point in time at which the given task will be executed. How precisely this point will be met depends on the specified temporal accuracy.We recommend registering a task at least 30 seconds before its execution time to ensure it being picked up by the scheduler.

This point cant be in past and at max one year in the future. The task will be billed for the month it was created in, not the one it executes in.

In the rest API this point is usually represented by a unix timestamp in milliseconds. See the corresponding enpoint documentation for more information.
