fix: reduce API request delays to improve responsiveness

- Reduced minimum requestDelaySeconds from 5s to 1s in UI slider
- Changed default requestDelaySeconds from 10s to 2s
- Updated Math.max constraint from 5s to 1s minimum
- Updated tests to reflect new default values

This addresses the issue where API requests were taking too long to respond,
causing poor user experience. Users can now set delays as low as 1 second
and the default is a more reasonable 2 seconds.

Fixes #9438
