So while I was trying to look for how Super Sonic can last however long the user wants it to, I actually found the exact opposite. And from here all of places too. First off, after Sonic outsmarts Scourge to de-Super himself, he talks about the differences about their Super Forms, one of them is him thinking Scourge's could last longer than his own:
While it ultimately doesn't matter if Sonic was right or not about Super Scourge lasting longer than Super Sonic, the mere fact that Sonic thinks that Scourge could last longer in that form than his own could implies that there is a time limit for Super Forms.
But that's not all. In the Complete Sonic Comic Encyclopedia, the book itself flat out says that Super Forms can't last forever, meaning that it's saying there is a time limit:
So twice it's been stated that Super Forms have a limit, both by Sonic and by the Complete Sonic Comic Encyclopedia. Now, I know what some of you might be going to say, "But Ian Flynn said that they don't." Yes, he did say that. I will not deny that. However, he ALSO said in the same answer that he could be wrong since it's been a while, meaning that he doesn't really remember, which judging from the scans posted above, he didn't. And outside of what Ian said, there's nothing really saying that Super Forms can last however long they want to. At least to my knowledge.
So I suggest we should put in all characters who have a Super Form that they have a time limit in their Weaknesses. The characters who wouldn't be affected by this would be Master Mogul due to how he got this form both times (Despite it's status as a Super Form), Enerjak, Chaos Knuckles, and maybe Titan Tails (Not 100% sure on that one, but I'm suggesting it anyways due to that form being the strongest thing in the verse iirc, plus we know next to nothing about it).
Everyone else who has a Super Form should have this in their Weaknesses:
"Super Forms are implied to have a timelimit, but no timeframe was given. Stated by the Encyclopedia and Sonic himself, there is an implied timelimit for Super Forms. However, no timeline had ever factored into the plot for Super transformations. Mammoth Mogul, Ancient Walkers, and Enerjak, became immortal through Chaos Energy. Even the writer mentioning a timelimit, Ian Flynn, reflected that a timelimit didn't seem to exist in Archie."
tl;dr: Super Forms have been stated to have a limit multiple times and Ian Flynn just forgot about it when answering a question, which he himself admitted he might've done while answering it.
