if there's a limit it definitely would lie more in the idea of sacrificing their humanity for power, sure. but it's not a limit you'd really see happen in a fight, certainly not something like it is in game where it's like they got 10 seconds or so. that's a state he should have no problem staying in for prolongued periods of time, he's been using it for 10 years ever since he first got it. they were young and it was the first time using their devil powers in DMC3 and he managed to keep it for a prolonged period of time. give him a decade to learn and you shouldn't see any issue with having it last all fight if he wanted to. it's not like anybody's gonna be retreating once the fight's under way, they're gonna have to deal with him in that state as he's in full blitz mode. he doesn't play at all in that state either: you wouldn't have any jokes, snark, or anything short of just going for the kill.
