The TTC bylaws regarding the use of transfers are Draconian, nonsensical and business unfriendly.

Actually doing that violates TTC rules.  Your fare covers your direct
trip from your starting point to your end point.  Going back and forth
is against TTC rules as far as I understand them.

Is anyone going to notice and check?  Probably not, but it is still
against their rules.

So yes it is time limited.  It is limited to the time it takes for you to
get from the start of your trip to the end by a reasonably direct route.
