Similar to a paywall, a common mechanic in modern games, especially mobile, where a feature of the game (or the game itself) has a limited number of uses or play time which only resets when the next period begins (usually a daily refresh) unless the player opts to pay extra.
God damn I hate the time gate in this mobile app. I can only play at best an hour a day unless I pay extra.

Get the program timemug. The feeling of a movie being far longer than it actually is due to terrible film making. The movie stops being "so bad, it's funny" and becomes just bad. Usually occurs when watching a Uwe Boll movie but can happen when watching an equally terrible movie.
