By default, it is on and the minimum time in seconds is 5 and the maximum is 10. This means after sending one message the next message will be sent after 5-10 seconds. You can either disable it or change the value it's up to you. If you're using multiple devices then you have to set it for each device separately.
Sending Limit: You can also enable the daily sending limit for each device if you want to send a certain number of messages from each device every day or every month. Once that limit is reached SMS will not be sent from that device. By default this feature is disabled you can enable it if you want to control the sending limit.
