New description:

 WordPress currently runs a 'twicedaily' job to check if `https` support is
 available. This is wasteful when the user already has `https` enabled.
 Although it can happen that a site goes from having https support to not
 having it (eg. when moving hosts or if an SSL certificate expires, this is
 probably rare, and the website owner is likely to notice issues when they
 try accessing their site via https as usual.

 Therefore, following the example of the [https://github.com/Eco-Mode-WP
 /Eco-Mode Eco-Mode plugin]. I propose reducing the frequency in this case
 to weekly. Tis change will save resources and belongs squarely in the
 *new* sustainability focus.
