The mature stage may sometimes be prolonged by a tilted updraft, but for the most part all stages last around 10 minutes.
No, heavy rain does not usually occur until the mature stage.
The cumulus stage, in which the thunderstorm develops, the mature stage, in which the thunderstorm is most intense, and the dissipating stage, in which the thunderstorm declines and ends.
A thunderstorm typically goes through four stages: cumulus stage (initial development of updrafts), mature stage (strongest updrafts and downdrafts, heavy precipitation, lightning, and possibly hail), dissipating stage (weakening of updrafts and downdrafts), and the final stage (dissipation of the storm).

The Cumulus stage, in which air ascends due to convection and clouds form.
The cumulus stage of a thunderstorm is characterized by building cumulus clouds and updrafts of warm, moist air. While heavy rains can occur in the later stages of a thunderstorm, it is not typically associated with the cumulus stage. The heaviest rainfall usually occurs during the mature or dissipating stage of a thunderstorm.
