Error while deploying Azure webjob with 20 Minute interval

When I am deploying the Windows Azure webjob with recurring schedule of 20 Minute interval, I get an error.

My webjob publish settings are -

{
  "$schema": "http://schemastore.org/schemas/json/webjob-publish-settings.json",
  "webJobName": "JobShiftManager",
  "startTime": "2016-09-20T00:00:00+05:30",
  "endTime": "2099-09-20T00:00:00+05:30",
  "jobRecurrenceFrequency": "Minute",
  "interval": 20,
  "runMode": "Scheduled"
}

But, when I change the schedule to 1 hour interval, I am able to deploy it successfully. My Azure instance size is B1.

The problem is likely that you're using the Free Azure Scheduler, which doesn't support more than hourly runs.

Two options:

  1. Upgrade to the paid Azure scheduler
  2. Don't use Azure Scheduler at all, and instead rely on the WebJobs CRON support (see docs) for details. The requires a Basic or higher site with Always On enabled.
