Watchdog Timing
These are the suggested seconds to start each respective Watchdog delay to get the most efficient timing for monitoring the product(s).
Use the website
time.is
to see the exact time down to the second.The three different delays (2K, 3K, and 4K) work together to provide the best spread of monitoring without overcomplicating things.
You don't have to be exact about the actual milliseconds of timing when to start, just in the general start of said second.
If your proxies are ending up in errors or proxy bans, the 3K + 4K + 5K ms delay trifecta is the alternative.
Feel free to experiment with your delays (i.e., 2500, 3500, 4500, 2250, etc.) and see what works best for your setup. It's just much easier with 2000, 3000, 4000, and 5000 to work off as it's difficult to account for the actual milliseconds on startup.
There is a small delay when starting tasks.
When monitoring most sites, the 2K + 3K + 4K combo covers 83.33% of a minute and hits the main seconds to monitor on any timed drops before and after. However, some sites work better (i.e., with fewer proxy bans) with a 3K + 4K + 5K delay combo.
Running at a 1000 ms delay is strongly discouraged because it increases the likelihood of your proxies being banned or throttled on any site and causing errors; even 2000 ms delays are pushing it.
