const secondsInterval = () => {

if (dayjs(date).minute() % 5 !== 0 && dayjs(date).second() !== 0) {

// Check every second, if we're at the 5-minute interval check.
setInterval(secondsInterval, 1000);
This seems to get stuck. It's "checking" on every second of each 5 minute mark. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
Goal: To "check" every minute and 00 seconds: :00:00, :05:00, :10:00, , :15:00, etc Thanks again.
You should find out what's the time to your next rounded 5 min. like this:
const FIVE_MIN = 1000 * 60 * 5;
function waitAndDoSomething() {
const msToNextRounded5Min = FIVE_MIN - (Date.now() % FIVE_MIN);
console.log(`Waiting ${msToNextRounded5Min}ms. to next rounded 5Min.`);
setTimeout(() => {
console.log('It is now rounded 5 min');
waitAndDoSomething();
}, msToNextRounded5Min);
}
waitAndDoSomething();
