HeldPeriod in Windows Supplicant not working as expected

I am importing below XML to authenticate to network. The authentication working as expected. But in case of failures, the re-authentication is happening after 20 minutes(1200s). It seems to be default. It is not honoring the setting that I defined in XML file with HELDPERIOD tag. However, the re-authentication period is working perfectly if I push the settings via GPO(using UI option in security part of computer configuration).

Any one experienced this issue? How do I make my machine honor the settings I am passing through XML?
