does a chess.com bot's performance degrade if you add a time control?

I'm considering practicing against the bots with time controls to try to improve my rapid play, and I'm just curious as to whether any given bot plays at the same performance level with a time control vs without. Obviously, it's a computer program that makes decisions at light speed. Presumably the intermediate bots are throttled so they won't crush an intermediate human. But I'm wondering if they act human in the sense of doing less well when they're under more time pressure.

Your assumption is correct, the light speed calculations remove time trouble from the equation. Even in 5minute format the computer uses less than a minute to finish 40moves at low difficulty.

I learned more against humans, where I focus on defending against their plan of attack instead of trying to attack them. I survive long enough for a weakness to develop if I avoid making the first inaccuracy.
