Like Riku in Geed I don't even understand why he has a timer, (though his is sort of a non-issue as well),..he's not human.

Now Leito/Salaryman who's possessed by Zero, definitely should have issues with the timer since he actually is a human hosting an Ultra.

How does Riku being an Ultra in human form exclude him from the 3 minute time limit? Ultras, at least most Showa universe ones, draw their energy from sunlight, most of which gets filtered out of the earth's atmosphere before it reaches the surface. So unless the Ultra has solar panels on their body, like Ultraseven, or has a color timer that measures current strength rather then their time limit, like Nexus or Gaia, they should still be subject to the time limit whether they have a human form or a host.
