So like I claimed, it does not as no time frame is given. Considering she uses BM immediately after Vima mentions it to knock Palpatine on his ass, I'm not inclined to agree. The comics use of BM is far more flexible then usual.
I mean, he'd jus got his arm cut off, was coming off as desperate, he doesn't have to not be able to control storms to not be in control of that specific storm as there are reasons for him to be out of control there

Do you have anything to support your statement that he wasn't in control of his Storm other than baseless speculation? The rule is that Palpatine can control his storms, and there's no reason to believe that Storm was an exception to the rule, especially when it did exactly what Palpatine wanted it to.
well, there's luke saying he wasn't able to control this one, and then there's this being his last resort rather than something he's doing right off the bat

Luke's statement was based off of a scripture Palpatine wrote prior to Return of the Jedi, where he states he can't control Storms at all, so in other words, Luke's information is outdated, as is rather apparent from the fact that Palpatine himself states he can control them, an objective statement says he can control them, and the Storm in question did exactly what Palpatine wanted it to do (until his connection to it was severed).
Palpatine had plenty of Force abilities he could've used to annihilate Luke and Leia before unleashing a Storm, yet didn't, so it's far from being a "last resort". What even is this argument?
There's no other time she could've used Battle Meditation. What they did after the fight is confirmed to be Force Harmony. She could've only used Battle Meditation during the fight.
I never disputed that he could control force storms in general, but the way the audionovel sets it up makes me think that specific force storm was more of a, I'll take everyone down with me thing, mainly because he knew he could survive his body getting rekt
