I don't know but I think the rate of cabin pressure change in an airliner is lower than in say a -1000fpm unpressurised descent.
Its approx 2-300 fpm and does not vary with actual descent rate of the aircraft unless there is a problem.
So the normal Pax on a holiday flight could have a Cabin Pressure of say 5000 feet and That cabin would descend at say 300 fpm from a mid 30K cruise level.
