<p>My setting for readinessProbe is following: </p>

<pre><code>readinessProbe:
            httpGet:
              path: /up
              port: *status-port
            initialDelaySeconds: 5
            periodSeconds: 5
            successThreshold: 1
</code></pre>

<p>I want to change the <code>periodSeconds</code> to a larger value once my pod is running ok. Is it possible to achieve this? Since during starting of the pod it makes sense to probe it once every 5 seconds, but once it is running fine, it would be more efficient use of resource to probe it once every say 30 seconds. </p>

<p>Such a feature doesn't exist. You can look <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-liveness-readiness-probes/#configure-probes" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> for available options.</p>
