Variable: CADENCE

const CADENCE: object;

Defined in: src/net/cadence.ts:8

Every repeated player action with a timer — the basic attack, a skill's cooldown, the cast and attack locks, a potion — runs on a schedule, not on "the last time plus some slack". An action may arrive up to its slack early (network jitter bunches packets), but the next one is then due a whole interval after the later of the arrival and the time this one was due, so the slack never adds up: a client sending every 0.8 of an interval lands at most one per interval (67 in 100), not 100. A server must run the same arithmetic.
