Description

**Our problem**
If I’m not mistaken, currently Metabase only supports scheduling dashboard subscriptions at fixed times (e.g., 7:00 AM or 8:00 AM).

**Use case**
We’ve built a dashboard that we need to send to our executives as early as possible. We receive the data at 7:00 AM, and after our pipeline runs the dashboard is ready around 7:02. If we schedule it for 7:00, the dashboard isn’t ready yet. If we choose 8:00 AM we lose almost an hour and executives may not look at it.

**Proposed solution**
We’d like to be able to specify an exact time (e.g., 7:05 AM) when scheduling a subscription.

This new feature would help us a lot!

Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the existing dashboard subscription scheduling flow, then trace how scheduled times are represented and selected. Done means a subscription can be configured for an exact time such as 7:05 AM, with coverage for the new scheduling behavior.
