Why did Winston give Jonathan an hour?

A badge represents a supreme task (basically only a killer of JohnWick can complete it), and then in the end, the bosses of Continental Hotels and Continental Group don't want to kill JohnWick according to the rules, because JohnWick didn't do anything wrong, even forced to kill that person at Continental Hotels, and then Continental Group wants to make a deal with JohnWick. Give this badge to another person who is willing to finish it, that is, after three years, there may be someone who is equal to or better than JohnWick, otherwise even JohnWick can't stop this level of reward after one hour.
