Scheduled Apex Job Delay for Chained Jobs

According to this - https://developer.salesforce.com/releases/release/Spring15/FlexQueue - in Spring '15, there will be a delay of 5 minutes between chained Scheduled Apex jobs.

When will this delay be released? There is currently a critical update waiting called 'Apex Flex Queue'. I'm unclear whether the delay is part of this critical update, or is a separate one and if so, when it will be released?

Hi Jess,

The Flex Queue is still in  (Pilot) . If you want to enable it to your org. You have to raise a case to salesforce.

For your reference ;- http://releasenotes.docs.salesforce.com/en-us/summer14/release-notes/rn_apex_flex_queue_pilot.htm

Thanks,

Hi,

There is already an update for the Apex Flex Queue. I want to know when the delay for chained Scheduled Apex jobs will be released.

I think for chained jobs you can go with Queueable Apex .

You can find the details in 
https://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/Content/apex_queueing_jobs.htm
Thanks

I'm aware of Queueable apex. It is not suitable as I need to set a start time. I just need to know when the delay to Scheduled Apex Chained Jobs will be released.
