What is "Intervals"? Found a .plist for it under CrashReporter?

[bzgnyc2]

I found an Intervals_[UUID].plist under CrashReporter while trying to see why my browser crashed while I stepped away from my laptop. Anyone know what "Intervals" relates to? I don't have any application named Intervals (searched entire home directory and /var/folders for Intervals*) or similar on my computer.

Only things on the Internet I found basically just ignored it:

The file itself looks a lot like this person's (which appears to be part of a backup he pushed to GitHub):

/Users/ArchCelsum/Library/Application Support/CrashReporter/Intervals_DF5370B0-056D-51EC-B126-7898E967BC3B.plist

/Users/ArchCelsum/Library/Application Support/CrashReporter/Intervals_DF5370B0-056D-51EC-B126-7898E967BC3B.plist - Intervals_DF5370B0-056D-51EC-B126-7898E967BC3B.plist

Any ideas? Is this Apple's software? If not, any way to confirm whether it was malicious and/or where it came from?

I've got two of those plists. I don't know what Intervals refers to, but I expect it's part of macOS. It seems to reference some of my installed apps, some standard Apple apps, and some macOS subsystems (like Spotlight).

It would be interesting to know what it's for, but I'm not worried about it.
