600 Elo disparity between time controls

Is it normal to absolutely suck at one time control? I am 1350 rapid and I've been as high as 1550 years back before I stopped playing for a while. My rapid is always 30 minutes with no increment and i always run lower on time than opponents. Anyways I have university exams in a few days so cannot take 30 minute breaks and wanted to try blitz so I could play chess between study sessions. The starting ELO was 400 and I thought getting to 1000 would be easy and after that I'd struggle due to being slow as mentioned earlier. Instead I'm stuck at 800 lol. Now idk what's a true reflection of my ability...800? Or 1400ish?

Go figure 😅
Why don't you forget that pointless ELO system and just play ? Best way to have fun and enjoy the game, in my opinion 😉
