how long vs how much time

[Offroad]

Dear teachers...

Could you shed some light on this?

I've been told that 'how much time' is no longer used, and 'how long' is the new way to go.

For example:
How much time do you have left?
How long do we have left?

Thanks

How long x How much time
How much time
How much time \ How long \ How long time

I hope these help.

Not true, in my opinion.

How much time do you have left? ......How long do we have left?

Both of these are fine.
