Well, the 30 sec is the default if no flood rate is given 
This is an example of how the flood rate should be set by the REST API 

<event>
        <description>any description</description>
        <severity>normal</severity>
        <origin>Customer1</origin>
        <custom_id>1</custom_id>
        <flood_rate>10</flood_rate>
</event>

Can you please check that the format you are using matches that ?
If you are using the same format and it still not working for you , please open a BZ

Thanks
