How many balls can a person hit?! I'm tired after 100 and really even after 80 in about an 1-1.5 hours.
This is one of the infinite reasons why I laugh when idiots say golf isn't a sports. It's physically demanding as hell.
I'm 50 and have range sessions that last 2 hours or more where I'll hit 200 or so balls and work in my Super Speed protocol for good measure. But of course I've hit tons of balls my entire life so my body is well used to it.
There is no right or wrong answer, everybody is different. But once you get tired, don't push it. It will only lead to bad habits.

I didn't say anything when you said you got this on eBay, but now that you hit it like **** I'm going to chime in.
You took club advice from a golfer who shoots 88, that's mistake #1. But why does he think you need a Vokey 56.14? Just because he likes it? That's awful, a good club for one is not necessarily a good club for another. So why is it a good club for you? Do you need 14 degrees of bounce? Are the turf conditions really soft? Is your path around the green steep or shallow? See, the answer to these questions are why or why not this type of wedge could be good for you.
In a weird way, it's probably a good thing you got it cheap on eBay. It's real easy to buy a fake on eBay, you have no idea whether or not you've got the real thing. And if it truly sucks for you, you're not out that much money.
