I love the downvotes from people who don't know any better.
There is no arbitrary length where it is blanket "OK" to use copyrighted music. Not 6 seconds, not 10 seconds, not 30 seconds. That's not how fair use works. There's also no "delete in 24 hours" rule that was commonly spread in the 1990s.
Fair use has a lot of elements - is the copyrighted material used for "such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research"?

Yup, look up the "fair use" act.
No. That's not how that works.
Ok, ill listen. How does it work?

You can use a substantial part of a copyrighted work and have it be fairuse (see some long form YouTube movie reviews using a lot of footage).
But you can't just willy nilly use 10 seconds of a song in your YouTube video or podcast.
Carpe Donktum's use, I would argue, is fair use. But not because of the length of the audio at all.
