+# Fix Summary: Disk Buffering Export Frequency Optimization
+
+## Issue Description
+The disk buffering exporter was attempting to export signals every 10 seconds, resulting in excessive IO operations and battery drain. During an 8-hour workday, this equated to approximately **2,880 export attempts** per device, which is unsustainable for enterprise applications where devices are used throughout the day.
+
+## Root Cause
+The original implementation used hardcoded 10-second delays in two places:
+1. **PeriodicWork**: `SECONDS_FOR_NEXT_LOOP = 10L`
+2. **DefaultExportScheduler**: `DELAY_BEFORE_NEXT_EXPORT_IN_MILLIS = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMillis(10)`
+
+This aggressive polling frequency provided minimal benefit for real-time signal export while significantly impacting device battery life and backend load.
+
+## Solution Implemented
+
+### 1. **Increased Default Export Frequency to 1 Minute**
+
+#### PeriodicWorkImpl.kt
+- Changed `DEFAULT_LOOP_INTERVAL_MILLIS` from 10 seconds to **60,000 milliseconds (1 minute)**
+- This reduces export attempts from 2,880 to **480 per 8-hour workday** (~83% reduction)
+
+```kotlin
+companion object {
+    internal const val DEFAULT_LOOP_INTERVAL_MILLIS: Long = 60000L // 1 minute
+}
+```
+
+#### DefaultExportScheduler.kt
+- Changed default `exportScheduleDelayMillis` parameter to **1 minute**
+- Maintains consistency with the periodic work loop interval
+
+```kotlin
+class DefaultExportScheduler(
+    periodicWorkProvider: () -> PeriodicWork,
+    private val exportScheduleDelayMillis: Long = TimeUnit.MINUTES.toMillis(1),
+) : PeriodicRunnable(periodicWorkProvider)
+```
+
+### 2. **Added Configurable Export Frequency Parameter**
+
+#### DiskBufferingConfig.kt
+- Introduced `exportScheduleDelayMillis: Long` parameter with default value of 1 minute
+- Added comprehensive documentation explaining the trade-off between real-time-ness and battery consumption
+- Parameter is propagated through the builder pattern via `create()` factory method
+
+```kotlin
+/**
+ * The delay in milliseconds between consecutive export attempts. Defaults to 1 minute (60000 ms).
+ * A higher value reduces battery consumption, while a lower value provides more real-time exporting.
+ */
+val exportScheduleDelayMillis: Long = DEFAULT_EXPORT_SCHEDULE_DELAY_MILLIS,
+
+companion object {
+    const val DEFAULT_EXPORT_SCHEDULE_DELAY_MILLIS: Long = 60000L // 1 minute
+}
+```
+
+### 3. **Integration with OpenTelemetryRumBuilder**
+
+#### OpenTelemetryRumBuilder.kt
+- Properly passes `diskBufferingConfig.exportScheduleDelayMillis` to the `DefaultExportScheduler` constructor
+- Ensures the configured value is respected throughout the application lifecycle
+
+```kotlin
+DefaultExportScheduler(
+    services::periodicWork, 
+    diskBufferingConfig.exportScheduleDelayMillis
+)
+```
+
+### 4. **Comprehensive Test Coverage**
+
+#### PeriodicWorkTest.kt
+- Tests verify the 60-second delay between periodic work executions
+- Three test scenarios:
+  1. **Execute enqueued work on start**: Validates that multiple tasks run in a single worker thread after the delay
+  2. **Check for pending work after a delay**: Ensures tasks are properly queued and executed at correct intervals
+  3. **Remove delegated work from further executions**: Confirms one-time execution of completed tasks
+
+#### DefaultExportSchedulerTest.kt
+- **Verify minimum delay**: Confirms default 1-minute delay is applied
+- **Verify custom delay can be set**: Tests that custom delays can be configured
+- **Export behavior tests**: Ensures proper handling of signal exports and error conditions
+
+All tests pass successfully, validating the correctness of the implementation.
+
+## Impact Analysis
+
+### Battery Life Improvement
+| Metric | Before | After | Reduction |
+|--------|--------|-------|-----------|
+| Exports per 8 hours | 2,880 | 480 | 83.3% |
+| Exports per hour | 360 | 60 | 83.3% |
+| IO Frequency | Every 10s | Every 60s | 6x |
+
+### User Experience
+- **Default Behavior**: 1-minute export delay provides a good balance between real-time data and battery efficiency
+- **Customization**: Enterprise apps can adjust `exportScheduleDelayMillis` to:
+  - Reduce to 30 seconds for critical real-time monitoring
+  - Increase to 5 minutes for battery-constrained environments
+  - Set to any custom value matching their requirements
+
+### Backend Load Reduction
+With typical enterprise deployments having hundreds or thousands of devices:
+- **Before**: 2,880 exports/device/8 hours × 1,000 devices = 2.88M exports
+- **After**: 480 exports/device/8 hours × 1,000 devices = 480K exports
+- **Reduction**: ~83% decrease in backend load

+## Files Modified
+
+| File | Change |
+|------|--------|
+| `services/src/main/java/.../PeriodicWorkImpl.kt` | DEFAULT_LOOP_INTERVAL_MILLIS: 10s → 60s |
+| `core/src/main/java/.../DiskBufferingConfig.kt` | Added `exportScheduleDelayMillis` parameter |
+| `core/src/main/java/.../DefaultExportScheduler.kt` | Default delay: 10s → 60s (configurable) |
+| `core/src/main/java/.../OpenTelemetryRumBuilder.kt` | Pass configured delay to scheduler |
+| `services/src/test/java/.../PeriodicWorkTest.kt` | Validates 60s delay behavior |
+| `core/src/test/java/.../DefaultExportSchedulerTest.kt` | Validates configurable delays |
+
+## Configuration Usage
+
+### Default Configuration
+```kotlin
+val config = DiskBufferingConfig(enabled = true)
+// exportScheduleDelayMillis defaults to 60,000 ms (1 minute)
+```
+
+### Custom Configuration
+```kotlin
+// Set custom export frequency (e.g., 30 seconds)
+val config = DiskBufferingConfig.create(
+    enabled = true,
+    exportScheduleDelayMillis = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMillis(30)
+)
+
+// Set for battery optimization (e.g., 5 minutes)
+val config = DiskBufferingConfig.create(
+    enabled = true,
+    exportScheduleDelayMillis = TimeUnit.MINUTES.toMillis(5)
+)
+```
+
+## Backward Compatibility
+- ✅ All changes are backward compatible
+- ✅ Existing code will automatically use the more efficient 1-minute default
+- ✅ Applications that explicitly configure the delay will continue to work as expected
+- ✅ No breaking changes to public APIs
