You can check the Scheduled tasks that are run in the cron maintenance script through Site admin > Server > Tasks > Scheduled tasks. Here you can see if a task runs ASAP or at a specific moment of the day / week.
Also, it's recommended cron itself run each minute, in order to have a smoothly operating LMS instance.
For more info, check the Moodle Docs on cron: https://docs.moodle.org/310/en/Cron
