Abstract: We consider the standard first passage percolation model in $$ for $dgeq2$ and we study the maximal flow from the upper half part to the lower half part (respectively from the top to the bottom) of a cylinder whose basis is a hyperrectangle of sidelength proportional to $n$ and whose height is $h(n)$ for a certain height function $h$. We denote this maximal flow by $a{u}_n$ (respectively $ph{i}_n$). We emphasize the fact that the cylinder may be tilted. We look at the probability that these flows, rescaled by the surface of the basis of the cylinder, are greater than $u(vecv)+eps$ for some positive $eps$, where $u(vecv)$ is the almost sure limit of the rescaled variable $a{u}_n$ when $n$ goes to infinity. On one hand, we prove that the speed of decay of this probability in the case of the variable $a{u}_n$ depends on the tail of the distribution of the capacities of the edges: it can decays exponentially fast with $n^{d-1}$, or with $n^{d-1}min(n,h(n))$, or at an intermediate regime. On the other hand, we prove that this probability in the case of the variable $ph{i}_n$ decays exponentially fast with the volume of the cylinder as soon as the law of the capacity of the edges admits one exponential moment; the importance of this result is however limited by the fact that $u(vecv)$ is not in general the almost sure limit of the rescaled maximal flow $ph{i}_n$, but it is the case at least when the height $h(n)$ of the cylinder is negligible compared to $n$.
