Alexa live feed will stop automatically after 10 minutes

I bought the C200 camera to watch my kids (and baby) in the bedroom when they are asleep, like I suspect many many people do. I have an alexa that I configured to see the camera too. To my surprise, the camera was switching off from time to time, I thought it was some kind of glitch and eventually bumped into this phrase in tapo faqs here
"The length of time you can stream the live feed on Amazon devices
Watching the live feed of Tapo cameras through Amazon Alexa will use your internet traffic as it’s a Cloud-to-Cloud service. In consideration of your extranet traffic and performance, the live feed will stop automatically after 10 minutes. However, you can ask Alexa to show the camera again if you want to continue streaming."
What reasoning is there for that really? Because I suspect tapo is not considerative of my traffic when I'm out of the house using my mobile internet connection so there must be something else going on...is there any switch to turn off so that I can see my kids continuosly without interruption?
