**Tell us about your request**
What do you want us to build?
We are looking to stop some services on weekends.
**Which service(s) is this request for?**
ECS -> Service -> Fargate
**Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?**
Right now, the only way to "stop" the services is to change the desired number of tasks to 0, and works well, but I cannot find any easy way to do this change to several of our services on weekends only. The services should run from Monday at 8 AM to Friday at 5 PM only.
**Are you currently working around this issue?**
How are you currently solving this problem?
Manually and potentially, I'm planning to write a lambda or something like that.
**Additional context**
Anything else we should know?

Contributor guide
Research direction
No repository file, test, or implementation entry point is identified in the request. Start by clarifying how ECS Fargate services should apply the Monday 8 AM to Friday 5 PM schedule and whether the desired task count is the control, then define the behavior that would replace the current manual changes or planned Lambda workaround.
