By default, the tool schedules a scan to run at midnight (your local timezone) on the day you sign up, and every 30 days thereafter. Though you do have the option to edit or delete this scan if you want to customise it.
All users can initiate scans on demand, but those with a Cloud, Pro, Enterprise, and Vanguard subscription have the added ability to schedule unlimited scans in advance (either as a one-off or to recur on a daily (Enterprise/Vanguard only), weekly, monthly, or quarterly basis).

Monthly – 1st to 31st (Cloud, Pro, Enterprise, and Vanguard)

Same date every three months thereafter.
