If you try to explain the procedure, do it correctly please:
If you make a take off with a low GW and with reduced power you may chose not to select TOGA with an engine failure. Only after reaching the engine out acceleration altitude you have to move the thrust levers shortly out of and into the FLEX/MCT detent again to remove the respective FMA and to set MCT thrust in stead of reduced takoff thrust. It will not take you 10 minutes to reach the engine out acceleration altitude. So like I said before if you have the thrust levers in the MCT detent or below you will not be limited to 10 minutes in the respective powersetting!

The correct procedure is: after clean up and reaching green dot and not after reaching acceleration altitude move the thrust levers
in the direction of climb and then back to flex/mct
Altough the same detent Flex and MCT are two different power settings, FLEX can be above or below MCT and thus the time limit does apply, altough this is purely theoretical keep the thrust you need as long as you need it and record the time in the trouble report.
