The paper glasses say on them: "Limited to 3 minutes continuous use, intermittently for several hours." This requires clearer explication. So how long should I wait between a 3 minute continuous use before watching for another 3 minutes?

According to the NASA website, "Some glasses/viewers are printed with warnings stating that you shouldn't look through them for more than 3 minutes at a time and that you should discard them if they are more than 3 years old. Such
warnings are outdated and do not apply to eclipse viewers compliant with the ISO 12312-
2 standard adopted in 2015."

Having some concern about the 2X viewers I purchased. The packaging and the glasses are marked Made in China. Are the Celestron solar glasses maniufactured in China? Or, are these clones of Celestrons?
