Netflix How long do you let "Analyzing video URL" run before just giving up on it?

I'm trying to get the last season of a series from Netflix (I got the previous ones about 6 months ago) and I've watched nearly an entire episode in the StreamFab browser with the "Analyzing..." window running the whole time. At this point I will just let the entire episode play out, but it doesn't seem it should make any difference.

How long do you guys wait before just giving up on it? I've been hesitant to cancel it because I sometimes have to delete the log and temp folders and reinstall for it to enter into the analyzing mode again if I've canceled it.

If nothing happens after 2 minutes, nothing will happen in 2 days... cancel

First analyzing (before selection dialog) never takes me longer than 30 seconds.
I would refresh the page after a minute at the latest.

But second analyzing before Downloading need always longer than 30 sec for me
if Video Codec AV1 is selected - Sometimes it takes longer than 2 minutes
and then works - with H264 always < 1 minute

Turns out that after signing out of Netflix in the StreamFab browser, signing in and out with a Chrome browser, then signing in with the StreamFab browser and all was back to normal. Strange that would play any Netflix video in the browser at all if there was something wrong with the signed in account.

Is this the initial analyzing phase or the analyzing after you click download?
For me the initial analyzing phase usually takes less than 2 seconds, so I kill it at 20.
For the download analyzing phase, it's so fast that if I blink it's gone, so if it still goes after 5 seconds it's not usually going to work as desired, but I might let it play out again, for 20 seconds.
