I just want to see how much time I have left before I can convert merits/buy something.

If you think the 5-a-day limit on tips is bad, you should've seen the incarnation of tips during beta. 90-minute cooldown on tip drops. Regardless, slowing you down is their intention because they didn't want people switching too quickly or without a bit of effort.
I dont mind the cool down or the limit to confirming sides to earn the merits, im fine with the 5 fame point limit. Infact i dont really care to run more then 5 of those at a time. However the OPer is right.There is no limitation placed on the use of rewards in any other aspect of the game. So this seems out of place and honestly punishes further those that are using the system for their own gains. If i save up merits from level 30+ with the intention of knowing im going to spend those to slot my toon at 50 with the sets i want, this system essentially means i could take a month or more to use the merits. I can understand the cooldown period fo purples and pvp recipies but for standard IO sets i think it should be removed.
