Kubernetes repeating job with start and end date?

Question

I am looking to see if there is a way of running a task on a repeat interval with an explicit start and end date.

In the ecosystem I have found that Cron Job task type lines up very well with a repeat task. However I've been having trouble finding a Cron Job scheduler that has a start and end date.

Most only allow a cron expression to provided to tune when a task is run. So far the only way I've found to enforce a start and end date is to make the logic of the task itself either exit early if before the start date or delete the job after the end date.

I was wondering if there were any schedulers that implemented start and end date behavior for recurring tasks.

(So far I've found the Kubernetes CronJob and Argo CronJob)
