The field name cronjob is not valid for Dependabot configuration. Additionally, Dependabot doesn't support interval: "cron". For monthly schedules, use interval: "monthly" with day and time fields. To run on the first Sunday of the month at 05:00 UTC, the correct syntax would be:

interval: "monthly"
day: "sunday"
time: "05:00"

Note that this will run on the first occurrence of the specified day in the month.

See below for a potential fix:

      interval: "monthly"
      time: "05:00" # Runs monthly at 05:00 UTC

  - package-ecosystem: "github-actions"
    directory: "/"
    schedule:
      interval: "monthly"
      time: "05:00" # Runs monthly at 05:00 UTC
