I've been able to convert a few custom plugins from Kibana 7.5 to Kibana 7.10.2. However, I've noticed that my request handlers are being called every 6-7 seconds even when I'm not interacting with the page. Is this behavior normal for Kibana 7.10.2? I've not seen this behavior with other versions of Kibana. From what I can tell, it looks like the AsyncScheduler.prototype.flush function is getting called every 6-7 seconds. Does anyone know what would be calling this function? ---

Hi @ssimmons, a full stack trace would be helpful. Also could you double check that auto refresh is turned off? ---

Stepping through the code, it does appear that a refresh interval is being set. How do I check that auto refresh is turned off in a custom plugin? The "setRefreshInterval" function from within the timefilter.ts file is being called as Kibana is loading my plugins. The refreshInterval object is defined as `refreshInterval: { pause: false, value: 10000 }` so it appears a refresh interval is being set. If I just load the Kibana homepage, it stops in the same "setRefreshInterval" function but the refreshInterval object is defined as `refreshInterval: { pause: true, value: 0 }` so it never sets the interval. After loading the home page and dashboard main page a few times, now the refreshInterval is set back to normal for my plugins as `refreshInterval: { pause: true, value: 0 }`. I'm not sure what cause it to get set to every 10 seconds. Is there a function call I can make within my custom plugins to set the refreshInterval to `refreshInterval: { pause: true, value: 0 }` so this doesn't happen again? ---

@ssimmons, when you save a dashboard you can check an option to "save time" with it. In this case `refreshInterval` is also saved with a dashboard and then it is being set when dashboard is opened. Could it be your case? Maybe you are opening a dashboard with auto refresh turned on? you can use `timeFilter` service from data plugin in your plugin: `data.query.timefilter.timefilter.setRefreshInterval` > ---

Thanks for the reply. I'm not aware of selecting the save time option when saving any of my dashboards. I've created 9 Kibana dashboards within 7.10.2 and it was doing it with all my dashboards. I first noticed this behavior after I did a "yarn kbn bootstrap" command. ---

@ssimmons, I am just guessing, that one possible reason, why `refreshInterval` gets enabled for you, is because you open a dashboard that enables auto refresh when it opens. This could happen if refreshInterval setting with auto-refresh enabled was saved with the dashboard. This behavior is controlled by this checkbox: ![Screen Shot 2021-05-26 at 15.55.51](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/6/26f51828d80d46066e73e03312bdaf24921d5db3.png) ---
