+## Reduce the check interval inside the klipper macros
+The default is that the macros check every 0.5 sec if the print can continue.
+This is a good compromise between cpu load and quality. From now one you can change
+this time.
+Caution, smaller numbers increase the risk of a klipper "timer to close"
+
+To change it simple, add the following GCODE to your print start:
+```ini
+SET_GCODE_VARIABLE MACRO=TIMELAPSE_TAKE_FRAME VARIABLE=check_time VALUE=0.5 
+``` 
+
+To get that change at every klipper start:
+```ini
+[delayed_gcode _INIT_TIMELAPSE_CHECK_TIME]
+initial_duration: 1
+gcode: SET_GCODE_VARIABLE MACRO=TIMELAPSE_TAKE_FRAME VARIABLE=check_time VALUE=0.5 
+```
