What do you use as a general rule of thumb for your winch duty cycle?

I've looked around quite a bit and can't seem to find any actual specs for that of a Warn 8274. My buddy claims that his Warn 12k is like 35 seconds on then 10 minutes off or something. The other day I ran my 8274 for about 2-3 minutes straight with only a few seconds of breaks during the pull. Seemed fine and never had any probs, didn't seem real hot or anything. What do you guys do?
