You can live 4 minutes without you heart if you do nothing, and if a certain procedure takes place, you can go up to ~30.

I'd say the time between Charming's heart being crushed and when he got half of Snow's was less than 4 minutes. ;o If he didn't die, then no sacrifice was made, which is the very fuel of the curse. I am ok accepting any rules a TV show gives me, as long as they actually follow the rules. They're not following their own rules.
