naruto doesnt have a clone limit in SM. the limit is when he has 3-4 clones gathering Senjutsu at the same time. it is when limit is imposed. making more than 3 clones (during Pein arc) would disrupt the clones Senjutsu gathering ability. without having a clone gather Senjutsu he has no limits on clones. during his fight against Kyubi he had hundreds of clones on his side.

Gai has a good time limit on 5th gate, but 6Gate the limit is lower. once 7Gate Gai enters the picture the limit is less than a minute. he always goes for instakill because he cannot maintain that form. once Hirudora is used he is down for the count.
