What does this setting do?

This is how often your server reports its state to the official server list — player count, name, availability. The default of 60 seconds is established and should stay.

Too long an interval means your server shows stale figures in the list or is temporarily considered unreachable. That hurts discoverability for no gain whatsoever.

What to watch out for

Affects visibility in the server list

Infrequent reports make the server look stale or offline in the list. There is no good reason to touch this value.
