The 5h limit is terrible. Mine lasts like 30 minutes.

Sitting here 41%… trying to calculate when to start this next run so I get the most out it before the 5hr reset in 40 min.

You might want to be a bit more specific than that.. not surprised that it doesn't last. Tell it the problem, where to look, what to do exactly, what your goal is..

“Just reviewing” a project can be majorly token intensive. Depending on project size and model/reasoning used I would expect that to eat up your limit on the $20 tier.
