I would be a little more conservative. The excess power must be kept for
more than an hour or two, to at least remove any chemical reaction that may
occur.
As shown now, the excess power has decreased just above 4W. That excess heat
might not stay long. Cross finger that it will happen.
You're right. More time is needed to rule out chemical reactions, for
the current run.
Before applying power directly to the active wire, they heated the cell
with the reference (inert) wire for several hours continuously, and it
still appeared to show significant amounts (a few watts) of excess heat
however, so I think that chemical sources can already be ruled out.
The real question, as I previously mentioned, probably is if this excess
heat effect is actually real or not.
