This is the DAG defintion:
```
with DAG(
dag_id=DAG_NAME,
default_args=default_args,
schedule_interval=timedelta(minutes=60),
max_active_runs=1,
catchup=False
) as dag:
```
This is an example for the execution times:

As you can this DAG is hourly by `timedelta(minutes=60)` but it's not the
same as specifying `@hourly` or `0 * * * * `. You can also see the gap in
times (marked in red) when Airflow was down. When it got up again it gave a
"new" timestamp to the execution_date.
I'm sure you can understand that there is no business logic behind the time
stamp of `XX:46:10.998426`
So as said before `timedelta(minutes=60)` **is not equivalent to** `@hourly`
or cron job experssion.
