Make a togglable update 30HZ chip, you can do this with the if chip and a bool variable but it still takes up CPU heat (at least i think) so it would be nice to be able to toggle an update 30HZ chip or event

An toggle event wouldn’t really make much sense. The extra heat an if-chip does isn’t really that much.
Maybe your heat issue is an other issue in itself?

We already can make something equivalent to that.
Just put your Event Receiver into a Bool Variable. If the Bool is set to True, then it’ll run your function.
If it’s set to False, don’t let it run anything. (Or something, if your looking to make a seperate event when false. Which wouldn’t make any sense in this case.)

Like @SamaeI said, the extra heat generated by 1 if operation is negligible. I think it’s best the “update” event receivers stay as they are as we don’t really want to over-complicate chips.
Can you elaborate how a toggle would work on an event receiver?

Even a small amount of CPU heat can cause issues if other circuits use just under max.
A way to toggle an update 30HZ event would probably be an event sender, but it might take up space in the events you can send. So just a placeable circuit could work well. Plus i always accidentally search Update 30HZ in the search box of the palette and not the event.
What circuits are you building that use just under the maximum heat? Surely there are optimizations that can be performed.
Also I’m still a little confused how this would work with an event sender? Would the event sender have a boolean value attached to it to set the state of the update 30hz?
I mean multiple circuit systems that take up a lot of heat together
Edit:
No it would be an exec port that toggles it with a bool as an output
Yet another edit:
The bool would show if its on or off
