Leetcode used to have 40 min and 1 hr mocks...why are they all so long now?

Can leetcode implement a customer timer for mocks or bring back some options for shorter ones?

I'm wondering why/when Leetcode changed mocks. I used to have premium in 2019, and I was graduating Fall 2019. I would do a leetcode mock every morning with my coffee -- and this was managable. They were 1 hr or 40 mins. I think some were longer, but there were options for 1 hr or for 40 min ones. This fit in super well to my daily routine and got me leetcoding every day! Now the mocks are all 1.5 or 2 hours. That's hard to fit into the daily routine while I eat breakfast. I find mocks SUPER helpful - keeps me from quitting if I get a question I don't like and I'm able to continue it for the full amount of time given and keeps me focused.

However, I don't want to commit to 1.5-2 hours daily. I wnt 40/45 mins or an hour. When did this change and why the change? It would be nice to get some shorter mocks available. I know I could do "random question" or select myself from the frequency lists and pick randomly but it's just harder for me to stay focused without that structure, and timed, company-focused (but with questions I don't get to pick) mocks are THE main reason I bought premium again.

I've just been picking 1.5 hour ones and if I don't finish in an hour, just end the session anyway.

I enjoy doing leetcode puzzles and like to keep fresh in case I ever need to switch teams or move companies - I completely credit having leetcode as part of my daily regular schedule with getting my (rhymes with automaton) job. I did the interview and it was just like "Oh, part of my daily routine. I do this all the time." I wasn't nervous at all.
