Update PowerVS IPI nightly cron schedules for multiarch jobs to rebalance load across Dal10 and Lon04 regions.

Changes:
Change 4.18 PowerVS nightly from daily to Mon/Wed/Fri
Change 4.19 PowerVS nightly from daily to Sun/Tue/Thu
Change 4.21 PowerVS nightly from twice daily to once daily
Change 4.23 PowerVS nightly from 4 days/week to Tue/Thu/Sat
Change 5.0 PowerVS nightly from Mon/Wed/Fri once daily to twice daily
Keep 4.22 unchanged since it already matches the required twice-daily schedule

Updated schedules

4.18: 0 7 * * 1,3,5
4.19: 0 1 * * 0,2,4
4.21: 0 10 * * *
4.22: 0 4,16 * * *
4.23: 0 10 * * 2,4,6
5.0: 0 16,22 * * *

Notes
Avoids the previous heavy-load 4.19 Dal10 slot at 0 15 * * *
Maintains at least 3 hours gap between jobs in the same region
Keeps 4.18 and 4.19 on alternating day sets

Summary by CodeRabbit

This PR updates OpenShift CI multi-arch configuration for PowerVS IPI nightly runs (in ci-operator/config/openshift/multiarch/openshift-multiarch-main__nightly-*.yaml) by changing the cron schedules used by the ocp-e2e-ovn-powervs-capi-multi-p-p job. The new timing spreads workload more evenly across Dal10 and Lon04 regions, reduces peak contention, and preserves spacing between runs in the same region.

Updated nightly schedules:

  • 4.18: 0 7 * * 1,3,5 (instead of daily)
  • 4.19: 0 1 * * 0,2,4 (instead of 0 15 * * *)
  • 4.21: 0 10 * * * (reduced from twice daily to once daily)
  • 4.22: 0 4,16 * * * (unchanged)
  • 4.23: 0 10 * * 2,4,6 (reduced from 4 days/week to Tue/Thu/Sat)
  • 5.0: 0 16,22 * * * (increased from once daily to twice daily)

Net effect: the rollout avoids the previously heavy-load 4.19 Dal10 slot at 0 15 * * *, keeps at least a ~3-hour gap between jobs targeting the same region, and maintains alternating day sets for 4.18 and 4.19.

Warning

Review limit reached

@Neha-dot-Yadav, we couldn't start this review because you've reached your PR review rate limit.

More reviews will be available in 39 minutes and 3 seconds. Learn how PR review limits work.

Your organization has used up its prepaid credits, and credit purchases are no longer available. Enable the review add-on in the billing tab to keep reviews running — you're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

⌛ How to resolve this issue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based credits.

🚦 How do rate limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please see our Fair Usage Limits Policy for further information.

Run make update to regenerate Prow jobs for the cron change.

Modifying the cron schedule in ci-operator/config/openshift/multiarch/openshift-multiarch-main__nightly-4.18.yaml requires regenerating the corresponding job definitions in ci-operator/jobs/. The generated job files for this configuration are missing from the PR, so the new schedule will not be applied.

Execute make update to regenerate the artifacts and commit the resulting changes to ci-operator/jobs/.

Hey @Neha-dot-Yadav

I thought about having you change 5.0 PowerVS nightly from Mon/Wed/Fri once daily to twice daily to Change 5.0 PowerVS nightly from 5 days a week twice daily.

Let me explain - 5.0 is important, we should run as much as possible and move to twice daily.

4.23 should run a minimum right now. I think the schedule is fine.

Thanks

Paul
