How long do you use the showers in SkyClubs?

It would be faster if more clubs involved stronger vents.
I hate using the shower and having all the steam in there, which turns into sweat on your nice new shirt you put on.
Sometimes after I am dressed I crack the door for a minute so some of the steam escapes into the hall...but SkyClubs need the vents that get all the steam out basically by the time you're done...like some hotels etc have

10 minutes for the shower.
+ 5 for shaving (if between 2 long flights).
+ 5 if toilet inside the shower room.
But, if I see it is very busy for the shower, I will go to the normal toilet (and shave there also), to "free" the shower for other.
I think after 25 minutes the light inside the shower room must "flash" for few second (2 or 3), each minutes. After 30 minutes, the light must begin to "dim".
More than 30 minutes is excessive. Shower are there to use, not to squat...

I have to use a bench to shower thanks to injuries. Thus it takes a bit longer for me. However I've never needed more than 30 minutes. Knocking and especially yelling really is poor form, especially before 30 minutes IMO. I use a shower at BNE regularly when flying CI TPE-AKL. They know I'll be out within 30. Even without anyone waiting they start knocking at 15-20.

I think this is the opposite of a long shower. JFK T4 the other day and there was a wait, so I got one of those buzzers they give out. Went and sat at one of those work counters looking out a window and got lost in work emails for a bit. Realized an hour had gone by and went back - they said they'd been trying to buzz me but the pagers don't work unless you're in the closest half of the club.
Ladies were super nice and just gave me the next shower room 5 min later; but I guess a heads up if you're ever trying to take a shower at JFK and are somewhat dazed from a long-haul flight.
I believe I spent exactly 14 min 53 sec in the shower room.

Never received a knock even if it was 30 minutes but I usually base it off of how many showers are open.
And sorry if this is slightly off topic... But has anybody ever noticed that the water pressure at Concourse E ATL is way higher for the first 1-2 showers? When I'm put in the last row I just start shivering.

15mins tops. I use the E club in ATL once a month and it's very crowded in the afternoon when I'm there. I just want to clean up and go to the club at B where the wine is better.

I usually take like an hour. SSS.
my first S is quite leisurely. Then for my second S I take longer than usual and combine it with my third S.
then, it inevitably takes me like 25 minutes to change into clothes again.
ETA: this is typically at JFK
