How do I schedule an interval job with APScheduler?

Question

I\'m trying to schedule an interval job with APScheduler (v3.0.0).

I\'ve tried:

from apscheduler.schedulers.blocking import BlockingScheduler
sched =         


        

Answer 1

How can the next wakeup be due 254 seconds from now when the interval job is set to 5 seconds??

It's simple: you have many pending executions as your most of the jobs didn't completed in the interval-window of time.

You could use the following parameters in order to sort this out:

 **misfire_grace_time**:    Maximum time in seconds for the job execution to be allowed to delay before it is considered a misfire 
 **coalesce**:  Roll several pending executions of jobs into one
