My guess would be that you don't utilize the entire maze but I am happy to be proven wrong. Most mobs in PoM have a 70 minute (and not 72 as is a popular misconception) respawn time. If you on average spend 2 minutes pr rat kill (you may say that's a smidge high but that also has to take into account charm breaks and running + setting up for next rat pet etc.) then there would have to be fewer than 35 rats in total in the entire maze for you to run out before respawns. That's also assuming you have zero down time ever - which is completely unrealistic. Any added downtime means fewer than 35 rats if you actually are clearing the entire rat maze alone.

I have never actually counted (and I don't expect I can find the drive to do so) and I am not sure if 35 is a high or low number with regards to total number of rats. It doesn't seem way off but I really don't know.

It might be that I was doing it wrong on my chanter. My method was to charm a pet, send it in, use low-level slow on the target rat and/ epic to haste my pet to manage the hp of both so that they were getting low at more or less the same rate. Then when they were both low I would click goblin ring to break charm and use Dementia and/or Anarchy (to minimize mana used) to nuke both down, then repeat that.
I charm one of the invis men, give him torch and haste, use shiftless on the rats and no other spells takes 45 seconds to a minute to kill each rat. Heal pet with memblur every 5 or 6 rats... Kill the about 45 rats and every gnome I see. I'm probably missing a couple rats that I don't see in some corner, but it feels like all of them

Then I afk for 10 minutes for raspawn
