Consider the fact that I'm fairly certain Jotaro could use Star Platinum: The World for a maximum of five seconds by the conclusion of Stone Ocean rather than the simple two during Diamond is Unbreakable. I'm also fairly certain that it was stated that Jotaro suffers heart problems throughout DiU whenever he uses The World, which could be put down to a number of things; the stamina it requires to use and maintain The World, his lack of further practice with The World post-DIO, the fact he stopped and restarted his own heart during the fight with DIO which would probably have some long-term effects on his health.

Basically DiU Jotaro was unhealthy and / or out of his prime, unlike SC Jotaro. Fairly certain that since he had gotten back into practice of using his Stand by the time of SO, Jotaro regained his ability to stop time for five seconds.
