Yeah, but I hate it... I've worked with a team where we had a cron job do some batch processing every night, but for some large customers it started taking ~12-15 hours to complete, and certain important user operations are locked while it's running. The solution? Running once per week starting on the weekend, with a manual trigger for customers who really need the results ASAP. Tiny effort for that easy fix and the team can continue working on new features, all-sized customers are still mostly happy, but Dijkstra would not have liked this...
