If you know for sure that you are keeping resend_interval in seconds,
then try as follows:
foodb=# SELECT (59::text||' secs')::interval;
interval
----------
00:00:59
(1 row)
foodb=# SELECT (120::text||' secs')::interval;
interval
----------
00:02:00
(1 row)
foodb=# SELECT ((3600*25)::text||' secs')::interval;
interval
----------------
1 day 01:00:00
(1 row)
foodb=#
