Change repeat interval of PeriodicWorkRequest after it has been enqueued

Is there any easy way how to change repeat interval of PeriodicWorkRequest?

Let's have a Worker which is triggered every 6 hours and already enqueued, but i need to change it to 3 hours period.

If the solution is cancel the request and create new one, what is the clean way without duplicate it?

make period work unique, by using WorkManager.enqueueUniquePeriodicWork.
and use ExistingPeriodicWorkPolicy.REPLACE as policy.

refer: https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/work/WorkManager#enqueueuniqueperiodicwork

note that workmanager version should be above or equal to 1.0.0-alpha03
