Camunda 7 Timer - Inconsistent Performance

Hello!

Can someone please suggest what can be done to address the timer issue here?

  • Timer set to repeat every 10 seconds
  • Yet … there’s a deviation of ~ 6 seconds
  • Doesn’t appear to be random : consistently alternates between ~ +5, then +15 seconds increments (hence averaging ~ 10 seconds)

Is this expected behaviour?

  • Deviation occurs whether in ISO 8601 or CRON Quartz format
  • It is running on a Spring Boot starter Tomcat server locally (Win 10 with ok specs)

Thanks for your time

Hi @dred,

This is something related to job acquisition configuration.
Try setting maxWait property to 10000.

Kindly find below a reference for the available properties to be set via application.yaml file
