PHP cron job — that worked before — suddenly stopped working when Plesk scheduled tasks

I am creating the cronjob from my Plesk control panel.

The cron is like so:

0 0,3,6,9,12,15,18,21 * * * /usr/bin/php httpdocs/sources/australia.php >> /var/www/vhosts/website-here/logs/topfbk.log 2>&1

The script runs and after 3 seconds it errors out, but it does not output anything to the log file so I am unable to know which is the cause.

This used to work on the same server using Ubuntu 18.04, I have upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04 and cannot seem to get this work.

It is a scraper that uses PDO, CURL. Checked them both, they are running on the server.
