Does 30-minute digest rate setting divide precisely into a per-second rate?

The answer is no.

The job that enqueues digests runs every 30 minutes, and all this setting does is put a maximum number of max_digests_enqueued_per_30_mins_per_site in the queue. It does not control how quickly the queue is processed.

BTW Seeing some pretty bad reviews for emailit recently, both on trustpilot and appsumo.
