How it works
Start a timer the moment a job pays out. Redzone Ops counts down in real time, keeps running if you close the tab, and alerts you (and Haviland calls it out, if voice is on) when it's ready. Sign in to sync timers between your phone and PC.
Why cooldowns matter
Most of GTA Online's best money is gated by cooldowns, not skill. Chaining jobs so a new one is always ready is what separates a GTA$500k hour from a GTA$1M hour.
Cayo Perico cooldown, explained
Solo, the Cayo Perico cooldown is 144 real minutes (three in-game days) from the finale. With at least one other player it drops to 48 minutes. Since Title Update 1.73 (July 14, 2026), target odds refresh with the Thursday weekly reset instead of every 72 hours, so waiting longer within the same week won't get you a better primary target.
