How often can heart statues be triggered in 1.3?

In Terraria 1.3, Heart Statues appear to only be triggerable once every 10 seconds. This appears to differ from the previous patches, in which the statue could conceivably be triggered 6 times at once (one for each wiring connection). Was this change introduced in 1.3?
What are some alternate ways that hearts can be generated or farmed?

What is the timer for heart statues?
You need to use a 5 second timer. It worked for me. While it's no more advantageous to use a 1-second timer than a 5-second timer, due to the 10-second minimum delay on statue activations, either timer works equally well.How many heart statues can you have?
Notes. A maximum of 5 statues can be hooked up to a single power source.How do I get more heart statues?
There is no specific spawn for heart statues. Your only way to find them is to search for areas where statues are more common. Therefore I suggest that you look out for underground cabins (see https://terraria.gamepedia.com/Underground_Cabin).Terraria The Weekly Wire Ep17 Heart Spawning Guide | 1.3 bosses arena tutorial
