obsidian-autosave-control is not in the plugin directory and it hasn’t been submitted for review (yet).
From a cursory overview of this plugin, we deem it currently unsafe to use.
Autosave frequency in Obsidian is considered a bug by the open source linux onedrive client team:
github . com/abraunegg/onedrive/blob/master/docs/usage.md#compatibility-with-obsidian
In their words:
Important
Obsidian provides no mechanism to change how this save behaviour operates. This is a serious design limitation and should be treated as a bug in the application. The excessive and unnecessary write operations can significantly reduce the lifespan of SSDs over time due to increased wear, leading to broader consequences for system reliability.
I agree with them.

honestly, your numbers look largely right … and i don’t like that!
Any updates on this topic? Obsidian has been releasing amazing features, and it would be a shame to be unable to use them because of such not-so-small inconveniences such as this one. I’d love to be able to hit Ctrl + S and, if I forget about it, get a small prompt if I want to save my file before closing the software. Especially if I made accidental changes
