Hello, I had some problems with this. The Lambda function wored fine but the scheduler never ran it. If you have this problem, you must add in the policy something like: { "Sid": "lambdapermissions", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "lambda:InvokeFunction", "Resource": "*" } It solved my problem, now the EventBidge works fine.

Hi Ryan, you can use rate expressions here instead of specify scheduled times - docs.aws.amazon.com/eventbridge/latest/userguide/eb-create-rule-schedule.html#eb-rate-expressions
