Hi GAEfan, It's not currently possible to set exact times for jobs that are more frequent than daily. The App Engine runtime will schedule them regularly, but at times it sees fit. If you need them to run at specific times you could, for example, run a daily cron job that enqueues task queue tasks to run at the desired times throughout the day.
