This is another of the silly things about the entire limiter plot-device.

And the limiter time thing was just that it'd take time for Chrono to regain permission to release Hayate's limiter. Chrono and Carim are from the Navy and Saint Church, after all. Hayate was under the command of the Ground Forces, so they needed permission themselves in order to release Hayate's limiter. Though they can impose a time limit on the release itself (Chrono gave Hayate 120 minutes in episode 11), such a limit is optional, as no such limit was imposed when Carim released the entire RF6 in episode 20.
uh... yes, obviously. Limiters aren't supposed to prevent anything.

Limiters are a loophole in the law that's suppose to prevent things.

Hence, limiters is a way to "cheat" when the brass think things can go to hell.

Also, i am pretty sure Nanoha and Fate's limiters weren't "free" either. We only saw them talking about Hayate's limiter because they didn't need to repeat themselves.

and, no, the climax fight was a bit different as they didn't really care about procedure at this point.

I am pretty sure you can't go around using an emergency where the birth-world of TSAB can get razed as something to prove the limiters rule are not obeyed even most of the time.
