I would say that the whole thing took about 3 hours (maybe more if the walk to the cemetery took a lot of time), so now that Harry used his last hour, he’s about 3 hours before his past self gets the note. He has to occupy that time, and what better way than to try to free Dumbledore?
I don’t mind him not succeeding—I already have my “as good as possible” ending.

In that case, the big explosion would happen about 2 hours before his past self gets the note, which would make the timeline inconsistent, since no such disturbance of the Quidditch match occurred while past!Harry was there.
Given that constraint, everything that happened since Harry time-turned five hours back must have taken at least five hours.
