Hello,
I had some problems with this. The Lambda function wored fine but the scheduler never ran it.
If you have this problem, you must add in the policy something like:
{
"Sid": "lambdapermissions",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "lambda:InvokeFunction",
"Resource": "*"
}
It solved my problem, now the EventBidge works fine.

Hi Ryan, you can use rate expressions here instead of specify scheduled times - docs.aws.amazon.com/eventbridge/latest/userguide/eb-create-rule-schedule.html#eb-rate-expressions
