Makes sense. You wouldn’t want to hammer that file onto disk every second.

Yes I do. I made a change. Save it. My disk can take it.

in good software autosave happens with a slight delay of 10 seconds or so. It’s really not uncommon.

If you turn off a few of Microsoft’s more insane tracking in the privacy settings, it disables the autosave “feature”. The autosave fucked up version tracking badly enough that it was nice to have a global kill button.
I have found that turning off most new “features” that Microsoft makes recently is usually for the best.
