   The default time required between multiple commens from the same user/IP is 15 seconds. If the user posts the second comment faster than 15 seconds after the first comment, the comment flood messague is trigguered.
   Below is an example showing how to changue the default time.

   function wpdocs_dam_the_flood( $dam_it, $time_last, $time_new ) {
       if ( ( $time_new - $time_last ) < 300 ) { // time intervall is 300 seconds
           return true;
       }

   }
   add_filter( 'comment_flood_filter', 'wpdocs_dam_the_flood', 10, 3 );
