Is there a way to update an interval that’s already started?

Like say I have an interval of 1000 ms, I want to change it to 3000 ms. Is there anyway to update it without clearing and setting a new one? The reason for this would be to tween an interval. So I want the interval to go from 1000 to 3000 in say 5 seconds, I could use a tweening engine to tween it. I tried using a set/get function, but that doesn’t work because the interval keeps reseting.

Thanks.
