Most Scheduled Tasks and Ultra when it’s Pipeline Tasks whenthe pipeline is in the prepare state happen on the Snaplex. However, scheduled tasks still have a dependency on the control plane.

Change to an Ultra task Task pipeline.

Statically defined OAuth accounts depend on Control Plane the control plane - specifically the refresh token.

ou You can use client credentials in-memory to get around this which would depend on the Snaplex, instead of the Control Plane.
The In-Memory OAuth 2 Account relies on the client ID and secret to retrieve a new access token. One limitation is that it works only with the client credentials grant type and the services that do not invalidate the existing tokens after a refresh.
