argo-cd: Timeout.Reconciliation setting not affecting polling frequency

Checklist:

I’ve searched in the docs and FAQ for my answer: https://bit.ly/argocd-faq.
I’ve included steps to reproduce the bug.
I’ve pasted the output of argocd version.

Describe the bug

When setting the timeout.reconciliation in the argocd-cm, the frequency in which an application syncs has not changed from the default 3 minutes.

Exec-ing into the repo server pod, I can see ARGOCD_RECONCILIATION_TIMEOUT is set to what I want it to be (30s), but I don’t see it having the effect I expect.

To Reproduce

In the rbac-cm.yaml file, set data.timeout.reconciliation: 30s.

Expected behavior

The expected behavior is that the reconciliation time would be able to be reduced below the 3 minute default to 30s in this case.

@patrickbardo After setting data.timeout.reconciliation value of the argocd-cm configmap to 15s, sync period triggered every 15 seconds. (not rbac configmap) I’m not sure if it works when the sync period is less than 30 seconds.

update You can check sync period log at statefulset named argocd-application-controller. You should restart statefulset named argocd-application-controller. Without a restart, configmap modifications do not take effect.

Attach log (sync period : 15s)
