How often does a Rollup field on an entity recalculate?

Yep RTFM right? Too bad it's not clear like all FMs... https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customerengagement/on-premises/customize/define-rollup-fields

Anyone who can make sense of the "Mass Calculate Rollup Field" job vs the "Calculate Rollup Field" job? And the timing of each?

I understand the documentation to mean:

Yet many articles online spout "every 12 hours!" which seems wrong...

I will try my best to summarize them.

——
Mass Calculate Rollup Field - Async job to do bulk calculation in existing records without impacting business

Purpose: Bulk updates of each Rollup field in existing entity records
Scope: Per Rollup field in an entity
Recurrence: Not really a recurring job
Default first run schedule: 12 hours after create/update of a Rollup field
Next run: After first run it will be postponed to run after 10 years unless there’s an update in the formula of that Rollup field

——

Calculate Rollup Field - Async job to calculate all the Rollup fields in a particular entity on a timely fashion. Only delta updates after last run or manual force calculation.

Purpose: Timely calculation to existing entity records
Scope: Per entity for all Rollup fields
Recurrence: Yes, a recurring job every hour or Admin defined schedule
Default first run schedule: 1 hour after last run of Bulk Rollup field job or last run of this same Async job

——

Third one is user triggered ie manual Adhoc recalculation on each field on CRM record form.
