Learn English – the word for a time period between two interactions

word-request

I am looking for a word that describes the period or artificial interval between two interactions.

Let's say: I need to check my emails often, but they don't change every second and I don't want to sit in front of the computer all day. So I create myself an artificial interval, say 1 hour, and check the mail 24 times a day.

"I check my emails 24 times a day, because my … is 1 hour."

I don't think there is a specific, single word for your usage, but easy possibilities are

checking interval
checking time
checking period

You could also say

I check my emails 24 times a day, because I check my emails every hour.
