Puppy wake/nap cycle advice

My Aussie puppy is 12 weeks old. She wakes up from a nap and is calm for about 15 minutes. After this she starts biting and barking more and more.

ChatGPT is telling me to start the wind down after 10-15 minutes and try and get her into her crate and falling asleep before half an hour.

She resists these naps with barking but falls asleep after a few minutes.

This feels like very short awake periods and it seems like most people are doing 1hr awake or more. Is this too short? She naps for about an hour +/- 30 mins.

This cadence of naps is exhausting but better than baby shark bites and then horrible enforced naps.
