I'm assuming it's because the first two episodes show "Hour One 7:00 AM - 8:00 AM" and "Hour Two 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM" at the beginning of the episodes, but that could just be the timeframe the episodes take place in, since each episode covers one hour of a 15-hour shift, and not actually on-screen episode titles. I changed them to what Max uses for now.

The "Hour XXX" has shown up on every episode so far during the opening, no reason to think it's anything but the actual episode title. Nothing similar appears anywhere else in the episodes
Lots of shows have shortened titles when listed on the actual streamer page, eg Picard and Shogun don't show "Part One"/"Chapter One" which appear on-screen with their respective titles

To argue against this point as it relates to Max specifically, see the title for any number of episodes of The Righteous Gemstones. No need for them to abbreviate the titles of The Pitt. If the words shown on screen were meant to be the titles, there is plenty of space in the listings to show it.

There's a difference in removing "Part One", "Chapter One", "Hour One", etc from a title than removing words in a proper sentence though. Especially when these websites/pages already have "SX EX" built in by default when listing shows
Are there any other examples where you have on-screen text that appears to be the title but actually isn't? The rules for movie/TV titling are always to follow what's on-screen, because promotional/site material can often differ, not sure why The Pitt is the exception to the rule?
