how long can you talk on a UV5R on high power before it starts acting funny?

That is to say how long can you reasonably talk before the radio gets hot and starts to cut out?

I've found during a fairly continuous qso it gets warm after 15-20 minutes and tx starts cutting out around 30-40 minutes, haven't found the limit for low power. After cutting out on high, dropping to low power resulted in clean audio again for as long as I could hit the repeater.
