Cooldown and daily budget planner
Work backwards from a daily budget to a cooldown and reward that your faucet can actually sustain.
A cooldown is a budget decision dressed up as a user experience decision. Halving it doubles what you pay out, and the effect arrives immediately while the extra ad revenue does not.
This works the sum in both directions: what your current settings cost, and what payout the budget you actually have would support.
Claims per session is the number that decides whether people stay. Fewer than two or three in a normal visit and the site feels like waiting rather than earning.

Notes
Active hours is the honest lever. Assuming users claim around the clock produces a frightening number that never happens; assuming an hour produces a comfortable one that under-provisions.
If the numbers do not work, lower the reward before you lengthen the cooldown. Users tolerate a smaller reward far better than a longer wait.
Scale rewards down as the faucet balance drops rather than stopping payouts entirely. A faucet that pays less is disappointing; one that pays nothing is dead.
