The most recent forum post about the "Battle Speed Up" was sent to the developers for review. They sent back the following in a Twitter DM.
"According to Paul, (The other member of the 2 person Dev team.) there is no intentional change to timers when using autocomplete, it might well be a bug but he can't seem to reproduce it. However, just to throw a spanner in the works, autocomplete will be disabled from version 1.04 onwards the reason is that we're moving to a new predictive system designed especially with joypads in mind - launching on PS5 in late summer so we have had a lot of QA on this lately. The new system will effectively be a smarter form of autocomplete, designed to let jopypad players quickly access their skills with minimal typingand unfortunately it won't play nicely at all with the old autocomplete so that will get scrapped."
Therefor, all runs that feature "Battle Speed Up" will be classified as Unrestricted.

very strange. i didn't even think it was anything to be "reproduced" because it was just there when i turned on autocomplete. it also made sense to me from a mechanical standpoint. oh well
