This has to be a bug if not... Well thats just stupid. =/
Actually it's Rank 0 that have a 30min timer.
Rank 1 has 28.30 (-90 seconds)
Rank 2 has 27.00 (-90 seconds)
Rank 3 has 25.30 (-90 seconds)
Rank 4 has 24.00 (-90 seconds)

If the trend continues, we can expect:
Rank 5 has 22.30 (-90 seconds)
Rank 6 has 21.00 (-90 seconds)
Rank 7 has 19.30 (-90 seconds)
Rank 8 has 18.00 (-90 seconds)
Rank 9 has 16.30 (-90 seconds)
Rank 10 has 15.00 (-90 seconds)

I SUSPECT that this is intended to put less strain on your funds whilst you're leveling the Chocobo. And that there'll eventually be some kind of buff you can get/earn (possibly via Chocobo costume pieces?) to increase the uptime.

...but yeah. Kind of annoying. At least whenever the server economy is low enough to make shelling out for stacks of 99 Greens noticeable...
