Prevent cron job from running every minute?

Hi, Is there any way to prevent users to configure cron jobs that should run every minute? We have a fair share of clients who configure almost every cron job to be run every minute, and some of these are very resource-demanding (and some of them doing many mysql queries). This results in a high load.

  Hello @DennisMidjord There is no native way through cPanel to do this, you can disable the crontab for users though by going to WHM>>Packages>>Feature Manager>>Edit Feature List and deselecting Cron Jobs for users using the specific featurelist. Thank you,

  Thanks, Lauren. I can see that there's a feature request open for something similar: Cron limits

  Hi @DennisMidjord Yes, and if you'd like to see that available as a feature I would encourage you to vote for it! I'm sorry I didn't point that out to begin with. Thank you,
