Ugh, wish it were 70-75 minutes to account for meetings that run over... (Please no hate, I'm just being practical - high value conversation can happen in the final minutes and if participants aren't running off to another meeting, then it's best to just give them a few extra minutes)

Even a 60 minute cap is generous. If they made it 75 minutes why would anyone ever pay for it? The point of the cap is to be annoying enough to temp and upgrade without making the service unusable.

  I believe the goal for Google isn't to make money but deter abuse.

    It’s to avoid “hanging out” on Hangouts, er, Meet, and instead use it for Meet-ing. It steers the product.

Set meetings for 50 minutes. Overrun problem solved.

If you can't finish your meeting in 60 minutes, you won't finish it in 75. Set the meeting length to 55 minutes. Use the 5 minutes to take water/bathroom break before the next meeting.
