Free Auto Clicker v8.0.0 lets you control the delay between automatic mouse clicks and stop a task after a chosen number of clicks or minutes. This guide explains each Time Setting field on Windows 11 and Windows 10.

What does click interval mean?
Click interval means the delay between one automatic mouse click and the next. It is usually measured in milliseconds: 1,000 ms equals one second, 500 ms equals half a second, and 100 ms equals one tenth of a second. A lower value clicks faster, but the target program may miss actions if it cannot respond that quickly.
What is the best click interval?
There is no single best interval for every task. Start at 1,000 ms while testing a new sequence. If every action is registered, shorten the delay in small steps. Use a longer interval for pages, menus, dialogs, or programs that need time to load. Free Auto Clicker v8.0.0 uses one fixed interval for the current run; it does not randomize the delay.
| Starting interval | Suitable first test | What to watch |
|---|---|---|
| 1,000–2,000 ms | New workflows, menus, pages and dialogs | Whether the target finishes each action before the next click |
| 500–1,000 ms | Stable desktop controls after a successful slow test | Missed clicks, loading animations or changing window positions |
| 100–500 ms | Only simple controls proven to accept faster input | High CPU use, ignored input and unintended repeated actions |

| Setting | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Click Interval (ms) | Sets the delay in milliseconds between automatic clicks |
| Stop After (clicks) | Ends the run after the selected number of clicks |
| Stop After (mins) | Ends the run after the selected number of minutes |
| Current | Shows the current click or time count while the task runs |
How milliseconds convert to seconds
One second equals 1,000 milliseconds. For example, an interval of 1,000 ms creates about a one-second delay between clicks, 500 ms creates about half a second, and 2,000 ms creates about two seconds. The target program may need additional time to respond, so a shorter number is not always more reliable.
| Interval | Approximate delay |
|---|---|
| 100 ms | 0.1 second |
| 500 ms | 0.5 second |
| 1,000 ms | 1 second |
| 2,000 ms | 2 seconds |
Set the click interval step by step
- Launch Free Auto Clicker and record the required X-Y click point or points.
- Find the Time Setting section.
- Enter a delay in the Click Interval (ms) field.
- Choose a click limit or time limit if the task should end automatically.
- Select left or right mouse click, review the coordinate list, and start the task.
- Watch the Current count during the first test run.
Start with a moderate interval and test the sequence while you can observe it. If the target misses a click, increase the millisecond value. If every click is registered reliably, you can reduce the interval in small steps.
Stop after a number of clicks
Use Stop After (clicks) when the task has a fixed number of repetitions. This prevents the automation from continuing indefinitely after the intended work is complete. Confirm the value before every run, especially after loading a saved FAC coordinate file.
Stop after a number of minutes
Use Stop After (mins) for a task that should run only for a limited period. Stay present during the initial test and verify that the target application remains in the same position. A fixed X-Y coordinate will not automatically follow a button or window that moves.
Troubleshooting interval problems
Some clicks are ignored
Increase the interval. The target may be processing the previous action, loading a new view, or waiting for an animation to finish. Test again with a slower setting.
Clicks land on the wrong control
Stop the run with F8, return the target window to its intended position, delete the selected point with Delete, and record the points again with F7. Review the Free Auto Clicker hotkey guide for details.

Click interval FAQ
Is a lower click interval always better?
No. A lower interval produces faster clicks, but the target can ignore them if it is still processing the previous action. Reliability matters more than the smallest possible number.
How many milliseconds equal one second?
One second equals 1,000 milliseconds. Divide a millisecond value by 1,000 to convert it to seconds.
Can Free Auto Clicker use a variable or random interval?
Version 8.0.0 can use the base click interval alone or add bounded timing variance. Keep the complete possible range safe for the target.
Why are clicks skipped at a fast interval?
The target may be loading, animating, saving, or waiting for another control. Increase the interval and test again with a small click limit.
