Appears to have been updated to 3 hours, at least from the DOT dashboard guidance

Edit: United website also appears to be updated to say 3 hours
- For cancellations or delays within our control, like mechanical issues, that result in your waiting for more than three hours, we’ll give you a digital or printed meal voucher. This voucher can be used for the reasonable cost of a meal at airport food vendors. If you don’t automatically get one, just ask us.
