The bug

My server is currently hosting about 149776 photos and 10447 videos. Every morning at 8AM in my timezone (UTC +8:00), I hear the server fans get loud and upon checking I can see FACIAL RECOGNITION job is running with about 50000 assets in waiting. If I allow it to run, it takes about 6 hours to complete.
The problem is that this runs for 6 hours everyday. I expected once the existed assets are processed, they should not be in the queue to be processed everyday.

Further, my cron expression for periodic scanning is: 0 18 * * 6
I have set this because I want it to only run once in a week, however something is still triggering facial recognition everyday at 00:00 UTC.

There are two issues:

  1. Why a third of my library is processed everyday for facial recognition?
  2. If the cron expression is getting ignored? This is something that has started to happen after upgrading to v1.100.0

I am happy to provide any additional information or logs that may help to identify the cause.

Reproduction steps

1. Check server status at 8 AM everyday
2. CPU is at high utilization with high temps
3. Immich is running FACIAL RECOGNITION job that continues for 6 hours

Additional information

Immich is the only application running on the server.
Utilization is low, there are only a few users and we take <10 pictures a week.
