So the AI can use up to 2 seconds of "thinking time" for each move on a some x86-server-like machine? Having played BitBath [0], I think this limit matters.

No matter how many turns are played, a match ends after 30 minutes? According to the rules, no team wins in this case?

Thanks for the clarification. I wasn't very clear in my answer before. The game ends after a maximum of 1250 turns or when all of one team's heroes are killed. If the maximum turn is reached, the team with the most diamonds wins. If every player on the team took the full 2 seconds on every turn, the game would last around 30-40 minutes.
