In Escape from Tarkov, time moves about 7 times faster than real life, so 3 hours in real time equals roughly 21 hours in Tarkov's in-game day/night cycle, meaning 3 real-world hours cover a significant portion of a full Tarkov day (which is around 2.9 real-world hours or 20-21 in-game hours). To break it down: 1 real hour is about 7 Tarkov hours, so 3 real hours is ~21 Tarkov hours, or 1 hour and 43 minutes of real time is 12 in-game hours.

How long until no run through Tarkov?

To avoid a "Run Through" in Escape from Tarkov, you need to either stay in a raid for at least 7 minutes or earn at least 200 experience (EXP) from actions like killing enemies or looting containers/bodies before extracting, ensuring you get a "Survived" status for quests. Player Scavs can often get a free pass on maps like Customs if they spawn late (less than 7 mins remaining) by just extracting, but generally, focus on looting or killing to hit that EXP threshold.
