I was at a Panera recently and was surprised they imposed a 30 minute limit on wifi. After 30 minutes I was no longer able to browse the net, only visit a Panera page mentioning my time had expired.
Personally, I think a 30 minute limit is perfectly reasonable for Panera to impose. However, I was curious to know if changing the wifi's MAC address would have allowed me to connect again. That's worked very well for me in other locations, e.g. hotels. But I needed to leave anyways. A test for next time.
