Research direction
Start with the linked forum report and PlayCanvas project to reproduce the particle emission behavior. Trace the particle system's emission-rate handling and compare observed timings with the configured 2–3 second range. Done means emissions consistently remain within the configured range and the reproduction no longer shows out-of-range emissions.
