# Events with STATUS\$1UPDATE status
STATUS\$1UPDATE

MediaConvert sends the event for `STATUS_UPDATE` approximately one minute after it begins processing a job. By default, updates are sent approximately every minute after that, until the service finishes transcoding or encounters an error.

You can optionally specify a different update frequency in your job, with the **Status update interval** setting. For more frequent updates, you can choose 10, 12, 15, 20, or 30 seconds. For fewer updates, you can choose anywhere from 2 to 10 minutes, in increments of one minute. For more information, see [Adjust the status update interval](adjusting-the-status-update-interval.md).

A `STATUS_UPDATE` event contains information about your job's current phase. When available, it contains job and phase percent completion.

Job phases are as follows:
+ During `PROBING`, the service reads information about the input while it prepares to transcode. 
+ During `TRANSCODING`, the service demuxes, decodes, encodes, and remuxes your content. In some jobs, the service begins uploading outputs to your output Amazon S3 bucket during this phase, as well. The phase ends when all transcoding is complete.
+ During `UPLOADING`, the service uploads the remaining transcoded outputs to your Amazon S3 bucket.

The following JSON is an example event containing the `STATUS_UPDATE` status for a job.

You can use the following sample JSON to create an EventBridge event pattern for jobs with a status of `STATUS_UPDATE`.

```
{
    "source": ["aws.mediaconvert"],
    "detail-type": ["MediaConvert Job State Change"],
    "detail": {
        "status": ["STATUS_UPDATE"]
    }
}
```

# 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).
