I just started jumping rope and I have a few questions

I bought a cheap PVC rope and just kinda started. There is no routine to it, I try to jump for 1/2 - 3/4 of an hour, with intermittent pauses.
The reason I do this is because I have no option of tracking time for 2 min jumping, 30 sek pause.

Is this a bad thing or trivial?

The second thing I noticed and what isn't done here in the vids is, I double jump. Like I jump once when the rope is under me and a second time while it is above me. While it is mor strenuous, it helps me keep the rythm consistant. If I only jump once I tend to miss the timing.

Is this a bad thing and should I be incresing my tempo or force trying to make the jump without double jumping?
