As you can see in the picture above, the User Pruning task runs whenever it pleases while it should run only once a day.
It goes like this: It runs whenever someone visits the site and the time is 02:XX AM.

Show your ACP -> Tools & Maintenance -> Task Manager -> User Pruning screen

Here it is.

Zero out the Times: Minutes
Having an asterisk tells the task to run on every minute starting at 2am.

I don't think I ever touched that but thanks for the solution.

Well, not a bug since you can easily change it to any value, nonetheless I created an issue for the weird default value: https://github.com/mybb/mybb/issues/1974

I'd definitely call it a bug seeing as it's not intended behaviour. The description says the task runs once every day.

Good spot @Jabberwock - it looks like this may have existed since before we even moved to GitHub.

All descriptions are wrong if an admin decides to change any task value(s). Those predefined times in task description strings are useless and should be just removed.

True.
