(durationInput: Duration.Input): Schedule<Duration.Duration>Returns a schedule that recurs once after the specified duration.
When to use
Use when you need a schedule that recurs once after a fixed delay.
Details
The schedule outputs the configured duration for its first recurrence and then completes.
Example (Recurring once after a duration)
import { Console, Effect, Schedule } from "effect"
const program = Effect.repeat(
Console.log("runs again after one second"),
Schedule.duration("1 second")
)export const const duration: (
durationInput: Duration.Input
) => Schedule<Duration.Duration>
Returns a schedule that recurs once after the specified duration.
When to use
Use when you need a schedule that recurs once after a fixed delay.
Details
The schedule outputs the configured duration for its first recurrence and
then completes.
Example (Recurring once after a duration)
import { Console, Effect, Schedule } from "effect"

Valid input types that can be converted to a Duration.
When to use
Use when an API should accept any value that Effect can convert into a
Duration, including existing durations, millisecond numbers, nanosecond
bigints, high-resolution tuples, duration strings, infinity strings, or
duration objects.
Details
String inputs accept values like "10 seconds", "500 millis",
"Infinity", and "-Infinity". Finite fractional values that are
normalized to nanoseconds are rounded to the nearest nanosecond, with ties
away from zero.
Input): interface Schedule<out Output, in Input = unknown, out Error = never, out Env = never>A Schedule defines a strategy for repeating or retrying effects based on some policy.
Example (Defining retry and repeat schedules)
import { Console, Data, Effect, Schedule } from "effect"
class NetworkError extends Data.TaggedError("NetworkError")<{
readonly attempt: number
}> {}
// Basic retry schedule - retry up to 3 times with exponential backoff
const retrySchedule = Schedule.max([
Schedule.exponential("100 millis"),
Schedule.recurs(3)
])
// Basic repeat schedule - repeat every 30 seconds forever
const repeatSchedule: Schedule.Schedule<number, unknown, never> = Schedule
.spaced("30 seconds")
const program = Effect.gen(function*() {
let attempts = 0
const result1 = yield* Effect.retry(
Effect.gen(function*() {
attempts++
if (attempts < 3) {
return yield* Effect.fail(new NetworkError({ attempt: attempts }))
}
return "Success"
}),
retrySchedule
)
console.log(result1) // "Success"
yield* Console.log("heartbeat").pipe(
Effect.repeat(repeatSchedule.pipe(Schedule.upTo({ times: 5 })))
)
})
The Schedule namespace contains types and utilities for working with schedules.

import DurationDuration.const fromInputUnsafe: (

) => Duration
Decodes a Duration.Input into a Duration.
When to use
Use when the input has already been validated or comes from a trusted source
and throwing is acceptable for invalid duration syntax.
Gotchas
If the input is not a valid Duration.Input, it throws an error.
Example (Decoding duration inputs)
import { Duration } from "effect"
const duration1 = Duration.fromInputUnsafe(1000) // 1000 milliseconds
const duration2 = Duration.fromInputUnsafe("5 seconds")
const duration3 = Duration.fromInputUnsafe("Infinity")
const duration4 = Duration.fromInputUnsafe([2, 500_000_000]) // 2 seconds and 500ms

Creates a Schedule from a step function that receives metadata about the schedule's execution.
Example (Creating a metadata-aware schedule)
import { Cause, Duration, Effect, Schedule } from "effect"
const firstThreeInputs = Schedule.fromStepWithMetadata(Effect.succeed((metadata: Schedule.InputMetadata<string>) => {
if (metadata.attempt > 3) {

import CauseCause.const done: <A = void>(

Creates an Effect that fails with a Done error. Shorthand for
Effect.fail(Cause.Done(value)).
When to use
Use when you model stream or queue completion through the error channel.
Example (Failing with Done)
import { Cause, Effect } from "effect"
const program = Cause.done("finished")
Effect.runPromiseExit(program).then((exit) => {
console.log(exit._tag) // "Failure"
})

A Duration representing zero time.
Example (Referencing the zero duration)
import { Duration } from "effect"
console.log(Duration.toMillis(Duration.zero)) // 0
zero)
))
