### What you expected to see, versus what you actually saw

We have been trying to have dependabot run 3x a day, so, we saw that it supports cronjobs. To our surprise, it doesn't. It says and is called 'cronjob' but can be run only once a day. This is misleading and, preferably, should be an actual cronjob.
