+<h2 id="frequency-limits">Alarm frequency limits</h2> |
+<p>In order to reduce the load on the user's machine, Chrome limits |
+alarms to at most once every 5 minutes but may delay them an arbitrary |
+amount more. That is, setting |
+<code>$ref:[alarms.AlarmCreateInfo.delayInMinutes |
+delayInMinutes]</code> or |
+<code>$ref:[alarms.AlarmCreateInfo.periodInMinutes |
+periodInMinutes]</code> to less than <code>5</code> will cause an |
+error. <code>$ref:[alarms.AlarmCreateInfo.when when]</code> can be |
+set to less than 5 minutes after "now" but won't actually cause the |
+alarm to run for at least 5 minutes.</p> |
+ |
+<p>To help you debug your app or extension, when you've loaded it |
+unpacked, there's no limit to how often the alarm can fire.</p> |
