All my lounge visits have been without time restrictions, but there are lounge passes one can purchase that specify 'maximum of three hours' and so on.
One way to regulate this would be to only allow a passenger access into the lounge from (say) three hours before scheduled departure as printed on one's boarding pass. When a passenger arrives at a lounge is also affected by when check-in opens, and how quickly security screening and immigration can occur, plus the time it takes to walk or travel by buggy to the said lounge.
But aircraft can run late, and so a user may overstay their permitted time period.
In practice, is this enforced or do staff turn a blind eye, perhaps because it's impossible to remember which users were restricted?
