No. The intended behavior is to use the 'ondelay' and 'offdelay' values
that are advertized. If you don't like the default values of 30 and 20
seconds respectively (I have no idea why they are this large), override
them in 'ups.conf'. See 'man 8 usbhid-ups'.

See above for an explanation.

Same here. Override the default values in 'ups.conf'.
