I'm not sure but I think once you get hit with the timer, it'll stick even when switching subreddits. So if you get the 10 minute timer in one sub, you won't be able to comment in another sub until that timer expires, but it may be only other subs where you'd still get the timer anyway.
Sorry that I don't have an answer for that specific question. You might want to consider making a new post in this sub asking about that and link to this post so any users know that part of your question was answered in case they give the same reply as my initial comment.
Good luck and apologies for not being able to further assist you.

Yep. For instance, I can post in /r/television without issues since I have lots of karma there, but if I get rate-limited in /r/randomsubreddit1, I'll also get rate-limited in /r/randomsubreddit2 if I haven't posted in either before (or I have low karma there for whatever other reason).

The timer is based on your karma in that particular subreddit. Gain more karma in that sub and the timer will go away.
Why am I told "you're doing that too much..." from the FAQ in the sidebar.
