Sorry, I'm not using 24.2 (is that an alpha...?), but 7.5.3.2:

Version: 7.5.3.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 9f56dff12ba03b9acd7730a5a481eea045e468f3
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.18; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

As for
https://help.libreoffice.org/25.2/en-US/text/shared/guide/doc_autosave.html?&DbPAR=SHARED
...

Re the .bkp feature: that description sounds clear. (Though I personally
wouldn't find it of much use; but that's just my work preference: I try to save
often, and I struggle to see how I'd use that last save, .bkp version.)

Re the "n minutes", it says nothing whatsoever about when the time is measured
from, nor whether it is per document. Right nopw that text reads:

"To save recovery information automatically every n minutes
Choose Tools - Options - Load/Save - General.

Mark [Save AutoRecovery information every] and select the time interval.

This command saves the information necessary to restore the current document in
case of a crash. Additionally, in case of a crash LibreOfficeDev tries
automatically to save AutoRecovery information for all open documents, if
possible"

In contrast, the information at
https://help.libreoffice.org/25.2/en-US/text/shared/optionen/01010200.html?&DbPAR=SHARED
 
IS good and clear, and states both that the time is per document, and when it
is measured from. It's a very concise and clear statement, IMO. (Thanks!)

So, yes, when I upgrade to a released version which incorporates that ;ogic,
I'll be much happier!

Thanks again.
