Why is it important to know the duty cycle of the mode you are using when transmitting?

Direct answer summary (2023-2027 NCVEC pool)

The official correct answer for G8B08 is Some modes have high duty cycles that could exceed the transmitter’s average power rating.

The reason is some modes have high duty cycles that could exceed the transmitter’s average power rating. Connect the cause in the question to this direct result instead of memorizing the answer letter.
