Disable throttling of background timers

Hi All,

I have a javascript web app that uses setInterval with a 20 second interval. I noticed that soon after I minimise it (Chrome or Edge), the timer starts firing every 60 seconds. I have used --disable-background-timer-throttling command line option when starting Chrome and this prevents it going to 6 seconds. However, the same option is not being honored in Edge. Anyone know what the option is for Edge? All online docs point to the same option as they are both Chromium based and the option is a Chromium one.

Cheers,

Vlad

Hi @Vladimir Bednikov

I test with --disable-background-timer-throttling flag and it works with Edge.

Which version of Edge do you use? I test with Edge Stable version 125.0.2535.85.

I suggest that you can first kill all Edge process in Task Manager, then open Edge with --disable-background-timer-throttling flag and test again.
