Thanks @gripgrip
It does look like the cron job had nothing to do with it, it was still early in my analysis.
I just discovered this plugin on our site. It was not in our list of plugins via the dashboard I only found it after looking in the wp-content/plugins directory. There was a WP Cron Job created for usage tracking and once I deleted that the plugin wasn’t able to restore itself. I had deleted it from the servers and then roughly 2 hours later it reappeared. May want to check your sites for cron jobs that don’t belong there.
