something you didn't mention: Ultras do cut off their time limit when using rays, special attacks like ultraman's Ultra slash, this is proven in Taiketsu! Ultra Hero, everytime you use an special attack (expect Ultraman jack's Ultra Lance and Ultraseven's eye slugger), you cut off the bar at the below left, which is your time limit. (and I don't if this is cannon or not)
