# Adjust the status update interval


By default, AWS Elemental MediaConvert sends `STATUS_UPDATE` events to Amazon EventBridge approximately once per minute. These status updates provide information about how your job is progressing. You can adjust the status update interval by specifying a different update frequency in your job.

**To specify the STATUS\$1UPDATE frequency**

1. On the **Create job** page, in the **Job** pane on the left, in the **Job settings** section, choose **AWS integration**.

1. In the **AWS integration** section on the right, for **Status update interval (sec)**, choose **interval, in seconds, between updates**.

If you use the API or an SDK, you can find this setting in the JSON file of your job. The setting name is [statusUpdateInterval](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/mediaconvert/latest/apireference/jobs.html#jobs-prop-createjobrequest-statusupdateinterval).
