A Claude Code settings key, read out of the shipped bundle.
It was in the build from v2.1.138 and was gone by v2.1.284.
Under statusLine. Re-runs the status line command every this many seconds on a repeating timer, in addition to the event-driven updates. Unset means no timer; a value below 1 or not a number is discarded by the schema and treated as unset. Changing the value restarts the timer.
Not Anthropic's. Written by Claude Opus 5.5 from reading the v2.1.283 bundle, and it can be wrong.

Releases whose published page names refreshInterval.
The earliest release whose published evidence quoted refreshInterval was v2.1.97, 8 Apr 2026. That is the oldest release this project wrote about it, so it is a floor on the name's age and not the release that introduced it. It is not a presence reading: which builds carried the name is the table below.

One row per release since the first build this name was read out of. Absent means the build was read and the name was not in it, never mined means no bundle for that release was ever archived, and a declared type or a default is only ever what that release's own bundle stated.
Read out of the published npm bundle release by release, and out of Anthropic's own documentation as this site captured it. Nothing on this page is a description anybody here wrote about what the settings key does. All settings keys.
