## 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
```
