In early July 2023 the SpeedLight team announced via Discord channel that they are experimenting with removing the online time limitation for all users. The SpeedLight team are excited to push the boundaries of the server capabilities and accommodate a larger number of Second Life residents online.
Hopefully soon the online time limitation will be officially removed. There has not been any further updates since the start of July 2023 from the SpeedLight team.
SpeedLight is a mobile viewer for Second Life for Android and for iOS devices. It’s lightweight, cross-platform viewer and it allows you to stay online, contact your friends using IMs and local chat, teleport across the world. The latest version of SpeedLight is v30 which is the mid of summer update.
Glaznah Gassner posted this update on the SpeedLight Discord channel and on the Second Life Forums on 9th July 2023.
TL;DR: We’re experimenting with removing the online time limitation for all users. Feel free to login with SpeedLight, engage in your usual Second Life activities, and help us test our server capacity. Your feedback on missing features is welcome, except for voice support, which we plan to release later this month.
