[BUG] dcc.interval missed triggering callback on time

Hi Dash Admin,

Environment

Package                   Version
------------------------- -------
dash                      2.6.1
dash-bootstrap-components 0.13.1
dash-core-components      2.0.0
dash-daq                  0.5.0
dash-html-components      2.0.0
dash-table                5.0.0

Frontend (P/S: You don't need browser to reproduce the issue below):

- OS: Windows 11
- Browser: Chrome
- Version: 103.0.5060.134 (64-bit)

Describe the bug Using the simple Python script below, the intention is to confirm the time for dcc.interval component to trigger callback as specified by the interval parameter. The screenshot below captured what had happened after the script ran for about 30 seconds. The callback was fired neither according to the 1 second interval nor consistent with 1 second interval. In fact, it was fired twice within the gap of 100ms to 300ms. You may find the additional notes within the screenshot dump itself.

Expected behavior dcc.interval should fire callback precisely at interval of 1 second and consistently doing so. It should NOT fire the callback twice (with gap of 100ms and 300ms), making it clearly it is a defect. I suspect this issue is not newly introduced in Dash 2.x.x as I've seen similar behavior in Dash 1.x.x as well.

I would appreciate if someone from your team will look into this issue as this should be a fundamental functionality of dcc.interval component and it has been missed out by your test coverage since long ago.

Thank you in advance for your attention.

Codes

import dash
import datetime
import inspect

from dash.dependencies import Input, Output
from dash import html
from dash import dcc

app = dash.Dash(__name__)

app.layout = html.Div([
    dcc.Interval(id='my_interval', disabled=False, n_intervals=0, interval=1000 * 1),
    html.Div("Counter: ", style={"display": "inline-block"}),
    html.Div(children=None, id="cnt_val", style={"display": "inline-block", "margin-left": "15px"}),
])

@app.callback(
    Output('cnt_val', 'children'),
    [Input('my_interval', 'n_intervals')]
)
def update(n_intervals):
    timer_label__children = ""
    print("{} Line: {}: {}".format(
        inspect.getframeinfo(inspect.currentframe()).function,
        inspect.getframeinfo(inspect.currentframe()).lineno,
        datetime.datetime.now().isoformat().replace("T", " "),
    ))
    return timer_label__children

app.run_server(debug=True)
