So it’s 10 regular dungeons within 1 hour, is the limit. resets every hour.
But what if you leave said dungeon before killing the final boss? Does that still count towards the dungeon limit?
Yes.

thats sucks
Yes. The limitation is 10 unique instances, which is basically if you kill anything then reset.
The main purpose is to combat botters who are generally after drops from the trash; if you could dodge the limit by just not killing the final boss it’d be pointless.

What’s it mean by “unique”? Like I’m limited to 10 different dungeons?
So could I run the same dungeon over 10 times if I keep resetting it?
You zone into a dungeon, kill 5 mobs, zone out, reset.
That’s one unique lockout.
You zone into a dungeon, full clear it, zone out, reset.
That’s also a unique lockout.
Depends on the difficulty. Some stuff you can run forever, other stuff is on daily (or weekly) lockout.

Normal “Burning Crusade” dungeons. Been farming time walking gear.
You should be able to run those up to 10 times per hour, yeah.
Clear, run out, reset, repeat.
I should probably slow down since I’m running through those and under 5 minutes each lol.
To be clear, ‘unique’ does not refer to the name of the dungeon. Even if you do the same dungeon 10 times in 20 minutes, you’ll still be locked out of entering instances for the next 40 minutes.
That still applies to queueing btw. I got tired of not getting a trinket drop at one point in Shadowlands, so I started spamming 2 Heroic Dungeons whose first bosses dropped decent enough Tanking trinkets. I was overgeared other than trinkets so I’d run in, destroy everything, leave after the first boss, requeue, repeat, and would hit the 10 instance limit very quickly. If I queued again after hitting the limit, I’d still get into a group, but I would be unable to teleport in because of the limit.
It resets dynamically. You can enter a new dungeon every 6 minutes if you hit 10 too quickly. It’s basically how many dungeons you’ve run over how much time has elapsed.
Yeah, if it’s 10 per hour then you’ve got 6 minutes per run. Can use extra time to slow down, kill extra stuff or just take a little break between sets.
