Link failover timer - Increase delay

I'm looking for a way to increase the failover delay on my MXs (64, 67, 68, 85, 95). I have in total 102 active MX all with a primary DIA or Broadband circuit and a secondary LTE connection via a LTE router.

 

I am trying to find a way to delay the failover to the LTE mainly to reduce costs of LTE charges.

 

Nothing I have read so far indicates a way to change the timers to extend the delay, I'm hoping someone here has found a way. I've seen questions on reducing the timer and the answer is no but those are 4+ year old threads.

 

Thanks for you input.

Greetings,

 

There is currently no way to extend the timers on the MXen, and I would suggest submitting a feature request so that it may be developed in the future, since even if there was a way to do this outside of the dashboard, it would be untested, atypical, finicky, unavailable for you to modify, and probably cause a load of other problems.
