Depends on what I'm not liking about it
If it's something about the core gameplay loop then I know it's a helpless battle and I will drop it sooner, maybe 5 hours
If it's something about feeling locked or alienated of progression I can give it a try for 15 or even 20 hours before dropping it
If it's lack of challange, I generally go trough it for as long as I still hope there will be a difficulty spike but I really have no patience for overly easy games except when we are talking about life sims
If it's excess of challenge, I try to look for advice online until I learn the core mechanics, if it's still not enough to push myself trough the game then I drop it after 10 to 15 hours
If it's something about the graphics and/or artstyle being overly uggly, dated or unconfortting probably just a few minutes
