Time Limits Conveyed
Summary in Plain English
Where a time limit exists, the user is told at the start of the process or session that there is one, how long it is, and that it can be adjusted - unless hiding its existence is essential.
Why It Matters
A limit nobody mentions is discovered by losing work. Knowing about it in advance is what lets someone adjust it or plan around it.
