What is the max Uber online time?

Starting on Wednesday, 2 May 2018, the driving hours limit feature will put a time limit on how long you can drive on Uber before having to take a break. The app will notify you of the need to take a break after 12 hours of driving. You'll then have to be offline for an entire 6 hour period before the timer resets.
