Recommended polling

A poll interval of 10–30 seconds is sufficient. Pentest scans complete on the order of minutes; tighter polling provides no additional signal and consumes the rate limit quota. Stop polling when status reaches a terminal value: completed, failed, stopped, cancelled, or skipped.
