Maximum Metro Interval

Hi, I'm looking for an object I can use trigger things regularly at very large time intervals (10+ min). What is the maximum time interval for the metro object? Is there another object that might work better for this specific purpose?

Not knowing the maximum time interval, metro or qmetro accept time value syntax like hh:min:sec. And for very big time Intervalls like 10000 years I would suggest date.

For long time intervals I prefer a counter after the metro. This allows to display the progression and I can easily reset or set to another value while it runs.

Yeap, this is more elegant.

Why not clocker with 1000 ms output interval and % or select ?

One can mod the timer to whatever interval or values...
