Look at the LastHeardFrom attribute. It will tell you
when the last update was recieved. You can use that
to decide how out of date any updates are. That's probably
more useful than knowing the update interval.

If you want to know the update interval only using
the SOAP interface, you'll have to use STARTD_EXPRS to
put the value into the ClassAd for the machine. There is
no way to use the SOAP API to get the configuration variable
of a daemon directly.
