and are mutually exclusive, but at least one is required.

The name of the task. Required.

*Data type: String*

The interval at which the task runs. This option also determines when the task first starts to run, depending on the specified time (in ).

For example, if you save or schedule a task at 2:30 and run the task every hour ():

The task first executes at 3:00pm, and subsequently every hour after that.

In the InfluxDB UI, the Interval field sets this option.

*Data type: String*

Delays the execution of the task but preserves the original time range. For example, if a task is to run on the hour, a offset will delay it to 10 minutes after the hour, but all time ranges defined in the task are relative to the specified execution time. A common use case is offsetting execution to account for data that may arrive late.

*Data type: Duration*

The number task of executions that can run concurrently. If the concurrency limit is reached, all subsequent executions are queued until other running task executions complete.
