Option to turn off nightly score collection

[MrsKlaka]

I saw in another thread that you are considering this, but I want to formally request a way to turn off nightly score collection (or just always make it manual). I haven't even started school or have students other than my test account, and I've already used almost an hour of my allotted action minutes in the last 2 weeks... In the meantime, I manually commented out the schedule/cron lines in collect-scores.yaml per the comment in there, but updates overwrite this, so this would not be feasible long term. Thanks much!

You can change the yaml file for the collection.
https://github.com/<org>/classroom50/blob/main/.github/workflows/collect-scores.yaml
comment the cron line:

schedule:
  # Nightly autopilot. Comment out the next line if you only want
  # manual triggers.
  #- cron: "17 4 * * *"

Thanks for the reminder and @graphics80 for the suggestion. We have now removed nightly score collection completely, and teachers will need to manually trigger score collection themselves. Most of the time, teachers would need to perform a score collection anyway, so I don't see much value in running the script at scheduled intervals.
