+1. **update-interval** (optional) :
+   Update interval as seconds for how often the API is called to check on the status.
+
+   A higher value mitigates the chance of hitting API rate-limiting especially when
+   running many instances of this action in parallel, but also introduces a larger
+   potential time overhead (ranging from 0 to update interval) for the action to
+   fetch the build result and finish.
+
+   Lower value limits the potential time overhead worst case but it may hit the API
+   rate-limit more often, depending on the use-case.
+
+   The default value is 30.
+
+1. **update-back-off** (optional) :
+   Back-off time in seconds for the update interval.
+
+   When API rate-limiting is hit, the back-off time will be added to the next update
+   interval.
+   E.g. with update interval of 30 and back-off time of 15, upon hitting the rate-limit
+   the next interval for the update call will be 45s and if the rate-limit is hit again
+   the next interval will be 60s and so on.
+
+   The default value is 15.
