# sleep - Adjust Beacon Interval

Change the agent's sleep interval (check-in frequency) and optional jitter percentage.

## Description

The `sleep` command changes the agent's sleep interval (check-in frequency) and optional jitter percentage. The sleep interval determines how long the agent waits between check-ins with the Mythic server. Jitter adds random variation to the sleep interval to avoid predictable timing patterns.

## Syntax

```
sleep {"seconds":30,"jitter":10}
```

## Parameters

- `seconds` (required): Sleep interval in seconds
- `jitter` (optional): Jitter percentage (0-100)

## Examples

```
sleep {"seconds":30,"jitter":10}
sleep {"seconds":60}
sleep {"seconds":10,"jitter":30}
```

## Features

- The sleep interval determines how long the agent waits between check-ins with the Mythic server
- Jitter adds random variation to the sleep interval to avoid predictable timing patterns
- Lower sleep values provide more responsive interaction but increase network activity and detection risk
- Higher sleep values reduce detection risk but make the agent less responsive
- Jitter helps evade behavioral detection based on timing analysis

## Output

```
[sleep] Sleep interval set to: 30 seconds
[sleep] Jitter set to: 10%
```
