With Itachi being aware of this weakness combined with his Crow Clone Technique, it's logical to assume that Itachi could fool Shisui into wasting his 2 attempts on his clones. And that ladies and gentlemen, is how Itachi avoids Kotoamatsukami. As multiple people already agreed, that such a great decade limit couldn't have applied to Shisui himself, but rather to the crow with his eye which a) wasn't an original owner b) wasn't even a human. Of cource, some limit should've existed even for Shisui, but I severely doubt it extended up to more than a year, since Danzo with Hashi's cells did speed up the process up to about a day.
