Every heated product page in this range has an automatic shut-off, and they are not the same shut-off.

The contradiction
On the cheapest flannel throw, the safety bullet describes NTC overheating protection with a 10-hour auto shut-off, and the ease-of-use bullet on the same product page says 8 hours. Both sentences are our own and they cannot both be right.
Plan for 8 hours. It is the shorter of the two claims and the one that matches the rest of the range, and a blanket that switches off earlier than expected is a smaller problem than one that runs longer than you planned.

How to check yours in one evening
Set the longest timer the controller offers, start it at a time you will remember, and note when the display goes out. That single observation settles the question for your unit better than either bullet, and it is day two of the proving ritual anyway.
What the timer is for
It ends a session. It is not a thermostat, it does not sense a person and it does not know whether the blanket is folded. Use it as an ordinary convenience, heat the bed before you get in, let it stop on its own, rather than as a safety supervisor.
