Auto Synchronisation every 2-3 mins [Don't know if its a bug or a feature]

[soorajsprakash]

Environment

Joplin version: 1.7.10 (tested with previous release too.)
Platform: Linux
OS specifics: Manjaro gnome 20.2.1

Steps to reproduce

1. Set Synchronisation Interval as per your desire from Options > Synchronisation > Synchronisation Interval (I've set it to 30mins)
2. Create a note, do something.
3. You get to see that it starts Syncing about every 2mins [ Don't know if it was intentional or a bug, as Syncing is healthy ]
   Initially I thought it was syncing locally, as auto save in wordprocessors, But then I synced my Android joplin app, and the latest changes I made in note on joplin-desktop was right there.

See, the pic shows auto sync of notes in 2 & 3 mins.

Describe what you expected to happen

Although Syncing frequently is healthy, it defeats the purpose of setting the Synchronisation Interval.

so, if it isn't a bug, shall I close the issue?

I wanted to know the same once and nowadays I believe the removal of the tag is required to enable 🤖 stalebot-spamming (i.e. here, here, here, here, here, here or here).

I guess since bugs (issues with the bug label) usually wouldn't magically disappear, stalebot wouldn't automatically close them.
But the maintainers would like to have issues automatically closed anyway — even if the bugs aren't fixed yet.
So this way they can have both (at least if no one wrote something in this issue for a while — which is easy if your issue will be ignored).

This is not a complain (just a possible explanation) and I can understand this in a way, since it requires manpower and time to development or fix something and the amount of sponsors is low, too.

Personally I'm happy with the app, even if that means to accept some bugs or missing features. 😉

I'm on 1.7.11, Windows 10, and I noticed that the app is still syncing (with Dropbox) even after setting the synchronization interval to "Disabled".

I assume the frequent synchronization is also why I'm getting a "too_many_requests" error returned:

Last error: Error: POST files/upload: Error (429): {"error_summary": "too_many_requests/.", "error": {"reason": {".tag": "too_many_requests"}, "retry_after": 15}}
