# Recheck availability of AM

The duration after which the agent rechecks AM availability, when [Autonomous mode](org.forgerock.agents.fallback.mode.enabled.html) is `false`, and AM becomes unavailable at runtime.

Consider these points when you configure this property:

* If the duration is too short, the agent checks AM availability too often, and agent performance can be reduced.

* If the duration is zero, the agent checks AM availability for every call. Requests that match not-enforced rules can take longer.
