Hello,  
I am having a problem with 'schedule + cron" option. I had noticed it is not working at all (had never been picked up, looking at logs).  
The configuration is:

```auto
functions:
  cronWorker:
    handler: src/api/cronner.cronWorker
    name: be-lambda-cron-${self:custom.stage}
    description: BRANCH-DESC-HERE
    environment:
      ENV: ${self:custom.stage}
    events:
       - schedule: 
          rate: cron(30 22 * * ? *)
          enabled: true
          input:
            key: 'day1'

```

I had noticed that

```auto
- schedule:
          rate: rate(5 minutes)
          enabled: true
          input:
            key: 'min5'

```

works just fine, but I need a cron to execute at specific time and specific day (everyday).  
what am I doing wrong or could you please point me to detailed API doc.

is not enough.

Thank you in advance,

Oleg

  - schedule: cron(30 22 * * ? *) # run at 2230 every day
```

yes, I had tried 2 options:

1. 

```
functions:
  functionWorker:
       handler: worker.funcWorker
       events:
          - schedule: cron(30 03 * * ? *) # runs at 3:30 am

```

1. 

```
functions:
      functionWorker:
           handler: worker.funcWorker
           events:
              - schedule:
                    rate: rate(5 minutes)
                    enabled: true
                    input:
                      key: 'min5'
             - schedule:
                   rate: cron(30 03 * * ? *)
                   enabled: true
                   input:
                       key: 'day1'

```

in case #1 I simply see no logs, which means the function in AWS is not picked up at all.  
in case # 2, the 'rate (5 minutes) works fine (see in logs), however,  
rate: cron is not picked up.  
Which brings me to the question, maybe rate: cron is not supporting  
input:  
key:

I could not find exact docs about it.  
(that is all docs I found [https://serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/events/schedule/](https://serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/events/schedule/) )

for some unknown to me reasons, option 2 had started working on AWS

Bumping since this is the only topic I could find on this issue; the reason the above code works is the double tab.

```
foo:
    handler: src/foo.main
    name: bar
    events:
      - schedule: 
          rate: cron(25 14 2 12 ? *)
          input:
            key : value 

```

The above works, whereas the following:

```
  foo:
    handler: src/foo.main
    name: bar
    events:
      - schedule: 
        rate: cron(25 14 2 12 ? *)
        input:
          key : value 

```

Does not. Documentation seems wrong on this issue.
