The departure delay would only matter for so-called "duty of care" which is likely not a big deal here, e.g. a snack voucher or somesuch.

DL will get to that, so you should.
It was 3:05 late on arrival, so more than 3h.

My original plan was to write again and specifically state that ruling. So I'll go that route and see what happens. Hopefully, they will not drag their feet another month+.
