At max drain rate Hysteria consumes 3.75 energy per second, with Primed Flow Valkyr Prime has 637 energy. So with absolutely no regen you can stay in Hysteria for 637/3.75 = ~169.87 or ~2:50. So you will be in Hysteria, with the build you game, for a few minutes without regenerating any energy at all.

Now say you manage to find an energy orb every ~10s, not unreasonable if you're on a squad of 4, then you'll gain another 425 energy before the ability runs out. That energy will keep you fueled for another 1:53. If you continue at the same rate of finding orbs you'll get another 11 orbs before that energy runs out, resulting in 275 energy and another 1:13 in Hysteria. Then 7 more orbs, for 175 energy and 0:47. Then 5 orbs for 125 energy and another 0:33. Then another 3 orbs for 75 energy and 0:20. Then another 2 orbs and 50 energy for 0:13. Then finally, 1 orb orb for 25 energy and 0:07 and you drop out of Hysteria.

Thats comes out to about 8 minutes of total time in Hysteria. It's easily possible to stay in for longer then a few minutes.
