I have a rule that search for data using Elasticsearch query for a job runs at 6:00 AM of 1st day of quarter beginning. So want this rule to be snoozed every day except 6:00 AM to 6:30 AM on 1st day of every quarter beginning (Jan 1st, April 1st, July 1st and Oct 1st)

Can someone suggest how to setup snooze schedule for this scenario

```auto
{
  "rule": {

      "threshold": [0]
    },
    "schedule": {
      "interval": "1d" // Check every day, but this will be controlled by snooze schedule
    },

        "freq": "DAILY",
        "byhour": [6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23],
        "byminute": [0, 30, 60], // Exclude 6:00 AM to 6:30 AM
        "byday": ["MO", "TU", "WE", "TH", "FR", "SA", "SU"],
        "bymonthday": [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31], // Exclude 1st of each month
        "bymonth": [1, 4, 7, 10] // Only January, April, July, and October
      },
      "duration": 86400000 // 24 hours duration
    }
  }
}

```

freq: "DAILY" - The rule checks daily by default but will be snoozed or unsnoozed based on conditions.  
byhour, byminute - These exclude the time window you want the rule to be active (6:00 AM - 6:30 AM is missing from the list).  
byday - Ensures it checks every day of the week.  
bymonthday - Excludes the first day of the month (you want the rule active only on the 1st).  
bymonth - Limits to the first month of each quarter.
