Description: even when the tick in [options]+General-load/save: Save AutoRecovery information every 10 min seems not be willing to be turned of. This feature and its activity is not very transparent when having many LO writer files open at the same time. Even turned off it still saves and consumes time where no editing of other open files is possible. A file of 5.000 kB takes 12-18 seconds inhibiting any other files to be edited. see attachements Steps to Reproduce: 1. create and open more than three files (writer and/or calc) 2. files should be quite huge in its size e.g. larger than 2.000 kB 3. increase to 59 Min and turn off the 'Save AutoRecovery information every ...Min' saving feature in [Options] 4. edit files and do not save them manually 5. wait about 10 Minutes 6. even the Options to save the AutoRecovery information had earlier been turned off, it still saves it 7. This saving of AutoRecovery information inhibits any editing on other files being open, making the Window blush and at the top window title bar it appears an additional hint next to the LibreOffice Calc saying "Not Responding" 8. This should be saying "autosaving in progress" Actual Results: 1. create and open more than three files (writer and/or calc) 2. files should be quite huge in its size e.g. larger than 2.000 kB 3. increase to 59 Min and turn off the 'Save AutoRecovery information every ...Min' saving feature in [Options] 4. edit files and do not save them manually 5. wait about 10 Minutes 6. even the Options to save the AutoRecovery information had earlier been turned off, it still saves it 7. This saving of AutoRecovery information inhibits any editing on other files being open, making the Window blush and at the top window title bar it appears an additional hint next to the LibreOffice Calc saying "Not Responding" 8. This should be saying "autosaving in progress" Expected Results: a) item 3. is expected to be turned off or setup of minutes be working b) item 7. being able to edit other files is vital and a must to keep up productivity/integrity c) item 8. should be saying "autosaving in progress" d) across Calc, Writer, Base it is not easy to understand, which application counts down the saving AutoRecovery. I wish to have more transperency upon this feature, wanting to see the countdown on every file being open. e) Even, once a file has been saved, it still seems that LibreOffice continuously saving AutoRecovery information, which always stops me from editing other files for the time AutoRecovery being saved Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: all these bugs occur in macOS as well. Saving documents automatically ============================== LibreOffice can save files automatically as part of the AutoRecovery feature. Automatic saving, like manual saving, overwrites the last saved state of the file. To set up automatic file saving: 1) Go to Tools > Options > Load/Save > General on the Menu bar. 2) Select Save AutoRecovery information every and set the time interval. 3) Click OK.

the elapsed time to have LO files autosaved, which are being larger than 2 MBytes consumes quite some time 12 seconds to complete and with 4 files being open and worked upon them does constantly interrupt the editing of other files. This process is not very easy to grasp. Question is, whether the saving of AutoRecovery information is a global or an individual setting for the file, the app or in General for LibreOffice, becuase I do have many different files open at the same time.
I have exact same issue. My Configuration -- On Linux Mint 20.2 Version: 7.3.3.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 30(Build:2) CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-IN (en_IN); UI: en-US Ubuntu package version: 1:7.3.3~rc2-0ubuntu0.20.04.1~lo1 Calc: threaded User Profile Reset = YES I often work with heavy files and autorecovery process hinders my work. Therefore I used to do Tools --> Options --> Load/Save --> General --> Disable "Save Autorecovery information Every -- Minutes" When I used to disable it, Autorecovery did not bother me till is used LO 7.1 But since last few updates (do not remember exact which update of LO) , It seems even if turning off this option does not DISABLE autorecovery. Autorecovery happens once in 10 min regardless of my setting. My LO calc sheets (usually more than 15 MB size freeze for 2 min or so once in every 10 min. Its using calc / writer has become painful due to this arrogant feature. Please TURN AUTORECOVERY OFF or pls tell me the way to do it myself !
this thing is even more tedious in LibreOffice 7.4.0.0 alpha
