Keep telling my self I need another Mavic. Are you getting close to the 30 minutes?
 
I don't have figures yet but I do know it seems longer when not going fast and far. I also know that windy days take more power.

I got 4 batteries with my MPP and even though it has been quiet windy here I am still getting about 22-24 mins if I am just filming nice and smooth with 15% battery life remaining with each battery. But once you hit sport mode and go for longer distances then I only get about 20 mins with about 15% remaining. It does a really good job in the wind however very smooth and stable and the video feed is very reliable. Really enjoying flying this!!

I average about 20 minutes, but I live at altitude so I expect it to be a little shorter than others
 
I usually get 15-18 minutes mostly because I come home around 40% I keep my batteries at that state for storage as well.
 
I recently had a 25 minute flight with 12% remaining. Otherwise I’ve been averaging about 18 minutes at about 30%, but I’ve been flying in below freezing temps!
 
Battery temps, wind, flying style, air density will give flight times that are all over the place. A hover test indoors until low battery landing kicks in would be a better comparison.
 
Mavic pro, battery ran down to 3.4V per cell. I'm sure the platinum can do when a bit better if you push battery as hard as I did.
