Time allowed in F class lounge

I have several F class flights booked in January and the transit times in Dubai are
5 hrs both ways, is there a time limit on how long you can stay in the lounge. I believe there is for J class but never seen it enforced.

I am under the impression (but not sure) that only paid lounge access is for 4 hours (it says so on the website), but that access as a result of F onward travel (or Plat status) is not time limited. How it would be enforced is a different question altogether.
But 5 hours between flights plus getting from and to the aircraft is surely no issue at all!

You are correct, there is only a time limit if it is paid access. It is enforced by charging you an additional fee if you go over the 4 hours rather than trying to find you and asking you to leave.

I was travelling with two individuals last week on a 6 hour connection, I was able to guest one person in for the duration and had the above explained for the second person.

Yes, my bad. Time limit is for paid access.

How do they know? Do you have to check out? If so, what if you forget to check out or they don't record it properly?
