 * Hi,
 * URGENT!!
 * I followed the steps from the topic [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_comments-and-actionscheduler/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_comments-and-actionscheduler/)
 * I am having same issue as told by the prokops (@prokops). Like I want to delete/
   disable the “action_scheduler_run_queue” cron job.
 * So, I follow the above steps that Con Schneider (@conschneider) told. Like ‘DISABLE_WP_CRON’
   set to true, so my cron jobs stop working and I installed “Action Scheduler –
   Disable WP Cron Queue Runner” plugin. After that I again restart WP_cron.
 * For few minutes my “action_scheduler_run_queue” shows “non-repeating”. But after
   some time again “action_scheduler_run_queue” was active, but without any action

 * Is that causes any issue to my website?? Because from more than a month, I am
   facing lots of issue on my site like tons of hits on my server. And my host told
   me that due to that cron, these hits are occurred.
    Is “action_scheduler_run_queue”
   stops or not?
 * Along with woocommerce, I am also using WooCommerce Mailchimp plugin, which also
   runs “action_scheduler_run_queue”
    wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-mailchimp/includes/
   lib/action-scheduler/classes/ActionScheduler_QueueRunner.php 7: const WP_CRON_HOOK
   = ‘action_scheduler_run_queue’;
 * Is that causes issue to not disable the “action_scheduler_run_queue” cron??
 * Please help me to sort out this, as I am loosing my sales everyday.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Factionscheduler%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi,
 * It generally isn’t recommended to disable the Action Scheduler as WooCommerce
   as well as other major plugins rely on this to run scheduled tasks. Even though
   the task for the scheduler is set to run every minute, if there are no scheduled
   tasks then it won’t be doing anything or taking up additional resources.
 * So generally it would be best to check in WooCommerce > Status > Scheduled Actions
   to determine if there are a large amount of pending tasks. Or the rate of completed
   tasks is increasing rapidly. If the tasks are increasing rapidly then you can
   have a look at which tasks are being run to find out more about the cause.
    If
   the tasks aren’t increasing then there isn’t any need to be alarmed about the
   action scheduler running every minute.
 * It’s seems you’ve also contacted us in a Support ticket. So we’ll continue the
   conversation in the ticket and I’ll mark this as resolved.
