Heyo,

Is there any way to change a delay between mirror update checks globally?

I think you are talking about the update mirrors cron job. To change that, add the following to app.ini:

```auto
[cron.update_mirrors]
SCHEDULE = @every 3h

```

See [config cheat sheet](https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/administration/config-cheat-sheet/#cron---update-mirrors-cronupdate_mirrors) for more config options.
