The initial intervals for microsoft defender atp and 365 defender are hard coded to last 5 and 55 minutes respectively. There doesn't seem to be any constraints in the API documentation. I plan on creating a PR to fix this.

I don't think they are hardcoded, there's the default, but this is configurable

Ah, I see this is for the modules, not the integrations. You are right, they are hardcoded - x-pack/filebeat/module/microsoft/defender\_atp/config/atp.yml  
x-pack/filebeat/module/microsoft/m365\_defender/config/defender.yml

I also see your PR [[Filebeat] Add Initial Interval for Microsoft Filesets by DumbBoi · Pull Request #42309 · elastic/beats · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/42309)  
I will make sure it gets reviewed. I would still strongly recommend using out integrations, which have better support, and are easier for users to maintain.
