I know it's been said by commentary during tag matches you have 20 seconds instead of 10 to do double teams in AEW. But I thought you also got a 20 count to return to the ring before a count out, and swear I even remember matches where the count went above 10. But now in the last couple weeks they are doing 10 for getting counted out.
 
Am I remembering the 20 count for count outs wrong?

20 count is an NJPW thing and they did it for the IWGP United States title matches that happened on Dynamite (minus the Texas death match between Moxley and Archer, obviously).

I don't recall them using the 20 count any other time.

They did for a while I believe and went back to 10 count. I remember Tony Khan use that against someone who was saying something bad about their tag matches needing more control And when they mention 20 count he said it was a 10 count and they didn't know the product.

"The Young Bucks, Cody Rhodes and Kenny Omega quickly established that they were going to have a count out count similar to New Japan and Ring of Honor rather than WWE. AEW’s 20-count gives the competitor enough time to get back into the ring before a count out ends the match."
