Timezone option for Scheduled Tasks
What timezone format do I need to use for task when creating it?
For example I want to run task in ukranian timezone, (UTC+2) what am I supposed to put in?
A bit confused because all the time here like different types and kinds of timezones that you need to provide...

First of all, it should be noted that timezone only applies if you provide a cron pattern for the
pattern option
Furthermore, the plugin is mostly just a tiny wrapper around https://bullmq.io.
Bullmq passes that timezone, along with the pattern, to https://github.com/harrisiirak/cron-parser which actually handles it.
I find it a bit weird that you're asking about UTC+2 because according to https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ukraine the proper timezone is UTC+3 (regardless in fact of whether this is the occupied area or not, but fuck russia, freedom for 🇺🇦 and all that)

Either way, the timezone notation for Ukraine is Europe/Kyiv, see also https://timezonedb.com/time-zones/Europe/Kyiv
In general, the timezone that is used is the one that the bot has from the system hosting it.BullMQ - Background Jobs processing and message queue for NodeJS

In Ukraine we have that thing when we change our timezone to UTC+3 (from UTC+2) in summer, and then back to UTC+2 in October iirc.
Thanks for detailed info on that topic!
that's called daylight savings time, or DST, a lot of countries around the world do it.
