That is actually a good question.

Whenever I've seen something like this in most other sci-fi works (other holodecks, other ways of living in a fantasy world, multi-sensory libraries, etc.) there's always some mention of either time-limits, some other kind of limit on the extent of the technology itself, or people have gotten addicted to them and it's a huge problem.

The only complete series I've seen is Voyager. How did the Star Trek verse as a whole handle this?

The best episode to look at for holodeck addiction (and general... delusions of grandeur) is a TNG one, here. By the time you actually see him in Voyager, he's... way more well-adjusted, heh.

Not sure how it was handled in DS9, since I haven't seen that one, unfortunately.

On Deep Space Nine, the only holographic technology is owned by Quark who uses it as a selling point, so limits are imposed by his need to make a profit on it.

The Next Generation has a case of Holoaddiction, Barclay, but there's no sign of any time limits. Though on the Enterprise, they take turning up to shifts very seriously and the technology goes haywire enough that I doubt too many are comfy staying in there for too long (though that's headcanon).

Enterprise has an alien species who can't make people in there. And Star Trek doesn't have it really.
