I am currently developing an Android game that will have two mods: Timed and Endless.
In Timed mode you have 1 minute to complete as much items as you can. In Endless mode, you have 5 seconds to complete an item, but as long as you can keep up the game never ends.
Is the word Endless correct to describe this method? What would be a better one?
EDIT: I'd like to thank you all for your answers and opinions; as some of you have noted there is no one correct answer, but a choice of mine. I'm walking away with a lot of good options on my hand thanks to you.

Endless mode is commonly used in video games, and so is survival mode, which sounds a bit more exciting – how long can you last? Infinite is also sometimes used.
Of course, you can call it what you like. There's no single correct answer. You could even make up a new name like panic mode if it fit the atmosphere of your game. A more restrained suggestion like untimed might work best if it's a relaxed game with no pressure – play as long as you like, it's untimed!
So really, it's up to you as a game designer to pick the term that fits your game best. That said, my personal favorites are survival and endless. I usually end up using one of those two terms when I'm talking to my friends, no matter what the author of the game chose to call it.
