Well, 30s from 10m is 20m/min, that's way too rapid indeed, especially since volume is doubled in the last 10m.Correction. @ 10m. Just checked my log book.
The max ascent rate should be around 15m/min at depth and about 6m/min in the last 5m.

Were you taught, or is it your goal to exhale continuously on an ascent?That’s a little scary. Since I am pretty confident in the time stated. May be off a little, but sounds like my ascent should’ve been around twice as long as I ascended.
Maybe my recollection of events is wrong, but I really don’t think so. Certainly wasn’t off that much.
It was a skills thing in my OW course. As I remember it, I took a breath of air, removed regulator and, while continuing to exhale, returned to the surface. I know I'm getting kind of old and it was a few years ago, but I remember that being something they had me do.Are you talking about a CESA or a regular ascent? I suspect confusion.
I guess that depends on the diving agency.Yes, that was a CESA. Taking 30s to do that from 10m is perfectly fine.
