+This cronjob runs once every hours at the top of the hour, exclusively applied to notebooks associated with specific user group  and will not impact other notebooks within the rhods-notebooks namespace. The cronjob performs the following action:
 
 1. **Shuts down notebooks exceeding X hours of runtime**: any notebook found to have been running for more than X hours will be gracefully shut down to conserve resources. PVCs persist the shutdown process.
-2. **Deletes notebooks with wrong images**: students are allowed to launch notebook instances with their class image. Notebooks that are running images that are not approved for use will be deleted along with their associated PVCs.
-3. **Deletes notebooks with wrong container size**: notebooks that are configured with container sizes other than **X Small** will be deleted, including their PVCs.
