 ### Re-sync Metadata After Changing Mirror Options

 This clears per-repository metadata completion flags so the next sync can re-run metadata import steps.
 
+### Mirror Interval vs Gitea/Forgejo `MIN_INTERVAL`
+
+Gitea Mirror treats the interval configured in **Configuration** (or `GITEA_MIRROR_INTERVAL`) as the source of truth and applies it to mirrored repositories during sync.
+
+If your Gitea/Forgejo server has `mirror.MIN_INTERVAL` set to a higher value (for example `24h`) and Gitea Mirror is set lower (for example `8h`), sync/mirror operations can fail when updating mirror settings.
+
+To avoid this:
+
+1. Set Gitea Mirror interval to a value greater than or equal to your server `MIN_INTERVAL`.
+2. Do not rely on manual per-repository mirror interval edits in Gitea/Forgejo, because Gitea Mirror will overwrite them on sync.
