The problem with saving on a time interval is that it doesn't make any sense unless combined with some type of change detection. What's the point in using cpu to keep a timer going and saving if someone just left QGIS open when they went to lunch. At best it makes sense on certain actions to check the time maybe against a saved value and compare and if delta greater than x specified by user do a save. Note Autosave based on a timer has been removed from things like Office for similar reasons.
