With the 1H 2023 Release a series of Employee Central jobs were enhanced to include job execution guardrails. 

This was documented in the following What's New View page:
ECT-207756: More Employee Central Jobs on Job Scheduler in Scheduled Job Manager

This enhancement is part of an ongoing effort to make Scheduled Job Manager the central self-service tool for managing and monitoring scheduled jobs. These job execution guardrails are part of these efforts, to ensure the jobs can be used in the self-service tool in a supported and controlled manner. 

For a full list of Jobs which now have guardrails outside of Employee Central, please review the following section of the guide:

FAQ: 

Q:Can all jobs be managed from Admin Center > Schedule Job Manager?
A: Not all job types are available in Scheduled Job Manager. To view a list of job types that support monitoring, go to the Job Monitor tab and open the Job Type menu. Job types that aren't available in Scheduled Job Manager can still be managed in Provisioning. These job execution guardrails have only been introduced for jobs that are available Admin Center > Schedule Job Manager.

Q:If we manually trigger one of these jobs from Provisioning, will that run be counted in the job execution guardrails?
A: Yes, These jobs except for the Sync HRIS Data and Sync HRIS Data for Specific Users jobs can run in both the Admin Center and Provisioning, and the execution limits don't consider which tool is used to schedule the job.
