How long can I sit out on Party?

How many orbits can I sit out at Party Poker before I'm picked up from the table? Approximately how many minutes?

I am at the best table ever and the waiting list is huge, but I need a break because I've been playing for many hours straight.

Thanks.

From an e-mail Party sent to me when I asked about this a few months back:

Each player is allowed to sit out of a game for 25 hands if the table is full. If they do not rejoin the action after 25 hands, they are automatically picked up from the table. However, they can sit out for as long as they wish to if the table has other vacant seats. This is a privilege given to the players, so they are able to take short breaks without leaving their seats.

you might be able to uncheck and check the deal me out option to give yourself some extra time. it seems to work for me, but i've never really sat out for that long.

That didn't seem to work for me last time I tried. I knew my time was running out and I checked/unchecked it, but it still threw me out after a couple of minutes.
