After 5 uses Glowing Hourglass will turn into Hourglass
"This was implemented on PC when afterbirth+ was released"

I feel bad for people who haven't unlocked the keeper now.

They could've just program, that donation machines also reset upon use of the hourglass.

Now Glowing Hourglass just isn't a fun item anymore and greedier mode makes unlocking The Keeper/Lost's Holy Mantle alot "easier". (Getting to Ultra Greedier is BS, but his 2nd form just spawns lotsa money).

What is the point of the Glowing Hourglass then? You can only use it 5 times and most of the time you're gonna get it in a shop. It just isn't worth 15 cents.

It might as well just be a trinket now. Take damage, rewinds time to before you entered room. Disappears after 1 to 5 uses.

Much more useful. Especially on lost or keeper or on red hearts only.

This transformation was implemented to prevent donation/greed-machine abuse. Originally, reverting time didn't revert their counter.
It got changed in an update though, they now get reverted as intended. The restriction became pointless, therefore the transformation doesn't happen anymore.

Sorry, your english phrasing is a little confusing. So it's confirmed not supposed to transform to The Hourglass anymore?

kinda late, but if you use the ? card, you keep the card and get to use it infinitly so yeah I actually got a run where I found a shop with 2 of diamonds and paired it with ? and got the donation machine to 999 easily
