Daily rather than weekly. A seven-day window leaves a stale toolchain unnoticed for most of it, in a repo whose entire purpose is holding dependency versions.

"timezone": "Europe/London",
"schedule": ["before 6am"]

Overnight, so PRs are waiting in the morning rather than arriving mid-task. The timezone is set explicitly because Renovate defaults to UTC, which drifts an hour against local time across DST.

Rate limiting is separate from cadence and unchanged: Renovate's default caps new PRs at 2/hour, and prConcurrentLimit: 3 caps open PRs at 3.

Validated with renovate-config-validator.
