- The bot needs to run against your repository
- The current time needs to fall within your repository's configured schedule

For the GitHub hosted app, all active repositories will be enqueued hourly by default, but it's often the case that not every repository gets processed every hour.
For this reason, it's best to allow for a minimum 2-3 hours schedule window per run, if you want a high chance that the bot will have run on your repo at least once while the schedule is active.
### GitHub hosted app scheduled jobs

On the GitHub hosted app Mend checks each active repository approximately every 3 hours, if no activity has been seen before then (merged PRs, etc).

For this reason, you should set your schedule window to at least three or four hours.
This makes it likely that Renovate bot checks your repository at least once during the schedule.
