180 seems very high to me and I've already quit social networks (well, except for some forum-like ones such as HN).
I like the idea, though, maybe five minutes for every 30 seconds of non-distracted gaze? Or something like that and tunable. Maybe even dynamic to the amount of time spent scrolling the feed in the last x hours?

Sounds like you would benefit from training 3 minutes at a time for starters!
People burn through half an hour scrolling like it was nothing. 3 minutes is a bargain!
Maybe it can auto-relock on a timer, while the required time increases every time?
Whatever floats your boat! But I'm wary of creating reversed incentives.
I can't let it lock! That would increase the cost. Must keep scrolling.
If 180 is high you've got Tiktok Brain my friend.
If the task is to look at a camera lens uninterrupted, yeah, it's high. If it's reading or doing a creative endeavor, that's very brief. I was speaking in terms of the camera lens. There are so many other things I would rather be doing for three-plus minutes, and none of them are TikTok
