I think in this case it's necessary to use queues; in processes that take a long time there aren't many alternatives.

thank you, this works fine in laravel 12

@sr57 not sure why it's not part of the docs but after checking the framework itself you could do it like this:

$schedule->call(function () {
	DB::table('recent_users')->delete();
})->daily()->name('My Description');

//or

$schedule->call(function () {
	DB::table('recent_users')->delete();
})->daily()->description('My Description');
