Possibly. I noticed this in the GnuCash technical reference 
(https://gnucash.org/docs/v5/C/gnucash-manual.pdf):

=====
On Linux if there is no graphic session that has already started the 
dbus, running on your
computer at the time of the quote request, you must do the entry as 
follows instead:

0 16 * * 5 env `dbus-launch` sh -c 'trap "kill $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID" EXIT;
gnucash-cli --quotes get ${HOME}/gnucash-filename > /dev/null 2>&1
=====

For *its and giggles, change the time of your cron job to an hour or so 
before or after 23:45.

Still, I have not been able to duplicate the issue on an Ubuntu 22.04 
virtual machine (VirtualBox) and the current stable Flatpak GnuCash 5.6 
(Build ID: Flathub 5.6-1). I'm running the update every hour.
