Only dynamic tasks can be unscheduled at runtime. Attempting to unschedule a static task (defined in `config/recurring.yml`) will raise an `ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound` error.

To update an existing dynamic task, unschedule it and then schedule it again with the new options. A running scheduler only detects dynamic tasks being created and deleted, so updating a `SolidQueue::RecurringTask` record in place (for example, changing its `schedule` with `update!`) won't be picked up until the scheduler restarts.

Tasks scheduled like this persist between Solid Queue's restarts and won't stop running until you manually unschedule them.
