The impact in current consumption is that the CPU will need to wake up more frequently to handle the events when the timers run out. This should not have a big impact in most applications, but I would recommend that you do a test with your application to see how big the impact is for you with the desired intervals. You can measure current accurately with the <a href="https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-tools/Development-Kits/Power-Profiler-Kit">Power Profiler Kit</a>.</p> <p>Best regards,<br />Jørgen</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
