That iterative research process is exactly how I use Google Deep Research since it has a 20/day rate limit. Research a problem, notice some off hand assumption or remark the report made, and fire off another research run asking about it. It depends on what you work on; in my use case I often have to do hours of research for 30 minutes of work like when integrating a bunch of different vendors’ APIs or pouring over datasheets for EE, so it’s worth firing off research and then working on something else for 10-20 minutes (it helps that the Gemini app fires off a push notification when the report is done - Anthropic please do this! Even for requests made from the web app).

As for long research times, one thing I’ve been using it for is historical research on old books. Gemini DeepResearch was the first one able to properly explain the nuances of identifying a chimeral first edition Origin of Species after taking half an hour and reading 400 sources. It went into all the important details like spelling errors and the properties of chimeral FY2** copies found in various libraries around the world.
