Today, it looks like that's changing to 2 hours, but just for games. There's no announcement from Google, but Android Police ran some tests, and found that although 15 minutes is still listed as the official refund time, it took exactly 120 minutes for the button to disappear.

This could very well be a glitch, but we'll wait for something official from Google to be sure.

Good news, sometimes you have hardly figured out an app to see HOW it works… and then it’s too late to get a refund if it does not do what you would like!
