The beat clock generator is currently experimental. With internal software endpoints, the accuracy is great and jitter is in the microsecond (fraction of a millisecond) range. With some USB devices, it’s higher.
The clock uses the service’s built-in message scheduler, and schedules a few seconds worth of messages at a time. The exact number of seconds is an implementation detail and so could change (view the code to see the current value).
