I haven’t timed it, but not even close to as long as my not-quite-beat YYF Boss. ---

I’m not sure. I’ve never had this happen to me. I would probably start by cleaning the bearing. ---

Unscrew it and give the bearing a finger flick test. It’s most likely a dirty bearing. But man, enjoy that thing! St. Eels are awesome! ---

Thanks all who replied, I think it was just a case of needing to be broken in, because its sleep times are lengthening. ---

Did you know, that St. Eel stands for Steel, because the yoyo is steel? May seem obvious, but I didn’t known until PatrickCondon told me last year. I figured those crazy Germans thought Eels were saintly or something ---
