I think there might be an issue with update frequency associated with using timestamp as the trigger. Can you try changing the configuration.yaml to the following:

rest_command:
  my_request:
    url: https://readings.powerpal.net/api/v1/meter_reading/<device-id>
    method: POST
    headers:
      authorization: "authorization key"
      accept: ""
    payload: >-
       [ {"cost":{{ states.sensor.powerpal_cost_json.state }},"is_peak": false, "pulses":{{ states.sensor.powerpal_pulses_json.state }}, "timestamp": {{ as_timestamp(now(),0) | int(0) }} , "watt_hours": {{ states.sensor.powerpal_watt_hours_json.state}} } ]
    content_type: 'application/json'
    verify_ssl: true

And automation.yaml:

alias: Powerpal Cloud Upload
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: time_pattern
    minutes: /1
condition: []
action:
  - service: rest_command.my_request
    data: {}
mode: single
