What station are you using? If enabled rapid fire updates are sent on receipt of every loop packet, so for Davis stations it’s every 2.5 odd seconds, for other stations it’s different and for some stations that send loop packets at different intervals it’s variable. So you might not be using as much bandwidth as you think.
The rtfreq config option is a bit of window dressing really; all it does is set the value of the rtfreq parameter in the rapid fire data string that is sent or WU. What WU does with it nobody knows, but as far as WeeWX is concerned it’s just a fixed number sent to WU in every rapid fire packet.
