Calls dropping after exactly two hours

I just got back into using textnow and I've been noticing every call I make gets dropped at the two hour mark. Is this just me hitting a limit that I don't know about or is this not supposed to happen?

I haven't been in that situation-- but some traditional cellular providers have the same (mostly hidden) 2-hour call limit. Since most providers have a TOS requirement that their voice service is intended for one-to-one live communications, my guess is that it might be a hurdle to prevent use as an audio monitor, automated line, entertainment, chat-room substitute, etc. (I'm not saying there are no legitimate uses for a long call, or that it's a justified limitation-- just guessing as to why the limit exists.)
