I run into that from time to time for this business account we have 
where channels were staying open for a long time so I made a script run 
from cron to hang up any extension over X amount of time:

/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "show channels concise" |awk -F : '($11 > 5400) 
{print "/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx \"soft hangup " $1 "\""} '|sh

This looks at any calls over 90 minutes then hangs it up. You can modify 
it for your issue say something like:

/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "show channels concise" |awk -F : 
'/YOUR_X_SIPURA_NUMBER/'|awk -F : '($11 > 5400) {print 
"/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx \"soft hangup " $1 "\""} '|sh

Not practical though for saving money... If someone is on for say 1 
minute and there is an issue with the channel not hanging up, 5399 
minutes would still be billed.
