Hey, I was wondering if the following pattern will trigger a job at Midnight every day with no exceptions.

That pattern means “At the 0th second of the 0th minute of the 0th hour” so yes, it will trigger at Midnight; however you don’t need to specify the second if you want the 0th. This is sufficient and equivalent to yours:

'0 0 * * *'

Keep the legend in the README.md handy:

*    *    *    *    *    *
┬    ┬    ┬    ┬    ┬    ┬
│    │    │    │    │    |
│    │    │    │    │    └ day of week (0 - 7) (0 or 7 is Sun)
│    │    │    │    └───── month (1 - 12)
│    │    │    └────────── day of month (1 - 31)
│    │    └─────────────── hour (0 - 23)
│    └──────────────────── minute (0 - 59)
└───────────────────────── second (0 - 59, OPTIONAL)

So 0 2 * * * means “at 2 AM every day”.

The schedule ‘0 0 * * *’ doesn’t fire. Any known issues on this?
