Changing the interval of SetInterval while it’s running

by

You could use an anonymous function: 

var counter = 10;
var myFunction = function(){
    clearInterval(interval);
    counter *= 10;
    interval = setInterval(myFunction, counter);
}
var interval = setInterval(myFunction, counter);

UPDATE: As suggested by A. Wolff, use setTimeout to avoid the need for clearInterval.

var counter = 10;
var myFunction = function() {
    counter *= 10;
    setTimeout(myFunction, counter);
}
setTimeout(myFunction, counter);
