I considered about asking about whether or not this was worthy of a feature request, but it turns out there are already a few:

[Set longer save frequency](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/set-longer-save-frequency-for-obsidian-sync-version-history/24671)  
[Config the autosave time gap](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/config-the-autosave-time-gap/2816)  
[Disable autosave or autosave interval](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/disable-auto-save-or-auto-save-interval/15096)  
[Disable autosave](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/disable-auto-save/14230) - not explicitly about the save interval, but related, with a number of good replies and comments.
