     # CRITICAL: Stagger cron times to prevent all WordPress sites from running at once
     # This prevents server load spikes from concurrent execution
-    # Each site gets a different minute within the hour, spread across 60 minutes
+    # Each site gets a unique minute within the hour (0-59), spread across full 60 minutes
     # NOTE: Uses global variable LAST_CRON_TIME instead of echo to avoid subshell issues

-    local minute=$((CRON_OFFSET % 60))
+    # BUG FIX: Use all 60 minutes instead of limiting to 20 slots
+    # Previous bug: minute * 3 only gave minutes 0, 3, 6, 9... 57 (20 slots)
+    # With 200 sites: 10 sites per slot = NOT staggered!
+    # Now: Each site gets unique minute 0-59
+    # With 200 sites: Max 1 site per slot (perfect staggering)
 
-    # For better distribution, use every 3 minutes instead of every minute
-    # This gives us 20 different time slots instead of 60
