Managing macOS updates in Intune
Event details
how do we change the default 60 second countdown to reboot after an OS update to 5 minutes or another value? Also, is it possible to configure to allow the user to postpone the reboot to a specific time?

The countdown isn't configurable by MDM currently - that would be a feature request to Apple.
I do want to highlight that enforcing an update is a very powerful action. My personal recommendation is to configure the automatic download/install update actions so that the update will attempt to install overnight or when the device has been inactive for a little bit, and then enforcing updates when absolutely necessary i.e. addressing a vulnerability, users delaying updates too long and you need to ensure device compliance, etc., outside of work hours of course - SvenV_Mar 04, 2025Brass Contributor
Microsoft Intune is also dependent on how Apple has designed these DDM software update enforcement notifications. At the moment I don't believe Apple and/or Microsoft has any options to change those setting values (correct me if I am wrong of course)
As you can see a overview of all the enforcement notification moments:
