Magento 2 cron - third party extenion cron not running

[Andy_Acute]

Quite a long post so I hope you'll stick with me -

I hope someone here can help - this issue has been driving me crazy fro the past couple of days.

The issue is that some of the third party extension crons aren't running.

I have the swissup easy banner extension which includes a stats section. Over time the stats database table has bloated and was causing a major slowdown in the website.
The cron is suppose to optimize the table daily but it's not running.

Speaking with the developer, they said the cron should run in the default cron group.

I have several other third party crons also not running.

I'm completely confused by it all.

Please help if you can.

Thank you

You will need to register the `bin/magento cron:run` in your system cron job. Magento will not automatically run this command nor the job registered in the cron_scheduled table. I have the same issue the I can see there are contents in job_scheduled table but not get executed, the status remains pending.
