Definitely - this has been discussed often and confirmed. You
actually get
charged twice the maximum cash fare if a journey exceeds the 2 hour
limit,
because you end up with both an unresolved entry = £4.00, and an
unresolved
exit = £4.00.

Which is a nonsense, as there are journeys that can take that long.
3
or 4 hours would be more sensible.

Have you examples ?


There were many examples last time this was discussed, basically relying on
journeys such as Chesham - 'either eastern extremity'. Someone touching in
at Chesham just after a train has left for instance, [and why shouldn't
they], would run down a fair chunk of the 2 hours before they even got
moving...

The TfL planner shows an average for the next 4 journeys to Epping for
example of about 2 hours 20 min, with departures half hourly.
