Thats not a good excuse.Who knows. That time he used it, he released it because he knew it was pointless with no arms lol
This.You have to consider we don't know for how long he was gathering energy.
If he gathered the most he could in an instant (which is most likely what happened since he wasn't meditating like Naruto or claping his hands like Jiraiya) w/o absorbing the maximum amount its possible that in that precise moment he wouldn't last more than a few seconds.
He was also hoping to 1-hit KO Madara so...
This....he has shown in the Manga to only keep it up for either one attack, or about 15 seconds.15 seconds

No, because he was too busy making Naruto with Kushina and cooking her dinner. It's all speculation on your part. I'm backed up with manga scans.Sage mode and be entered and exited at will
