With the MQ people - it ranged from 10 minutes up to 1 hour.  The default
is 30 mins

MQ 9.3.0 has enhanced its stats and accounting to provide granularity at
mmmm.ss - down to the seconds level.  See
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ibm-mq/9.3?topic=module-using-csq6sysp#q019300___acctime

For example a short lived CICS transaction will run and produce an
accounting record -this takes perhaps 50 ms.  A long running transaction
might produce an accounting record every 30 minutes (or at end of task,
whichever came first), by specifying an accounting interval of 1 second,
they get the same order of magnitude duration.
This granularity was in response to customer demand!

Also some customers would arrange the interval to be on the hour for z/OS,
2 mins past the hour for DB2, 4 mins past the hour for MQ etc.
because if they were all on the hour, SMF to data sets could not keep up!
Using SMF to a CF stream, and splitting by smf record type solved that
problem
