 Hiya,

 There's actually a way to do this already, either with the function
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_doing_cron/
 wp_doing_cron()] (recommended), or looking for the constant `DOING_CRON`
 and seeing if it's `true`.

 As for if it's being performed via CLI, that can be done by looking at the
 PHP native function [https://www.php.net/php_sapi_name php_sapi_name()],
 you'll see `cli` as the output if it's on the command line.

 Since these options already exist, I'm going to mark this ticket as
 `closed`, but if you feel there's something that could be done better,
 please do follow up in here, as it's just a task-management status, and
 conversations can still continue.
