I was watching a YouTube video last night and noticed that there was
no grace period given after WhipLash multiball ended. I mean like
zero time was given, the second the player got down to 1 ball the mode
ended with the quickness. That sucks... I love grace periods! Please
tell me I'm mistaken about this....

For the most part there are no grace periods on Stern titles, BBH
doesn't have it either.

Some of the WMS ones were ridiculously long IMO too - a second or 2 is
fine but 4-5 is too much.

Very short grace periods in terms of Multiball ballsave ...but there
are grace periods for jackpots and super jackpots. Shots to War
Machine will add-a-ball...and there's a grace period for that if
you're down to one ball.

Fixed it for you. Most older games (pre-BBH) have generous grace
periods. Doc Ock MB and Battle Royale both have absurdly long grace
periods.

The iron monger grace period was acceptable. I think WarDrone
multiball had that too.

Whiplash is no grace period that i recall though.

This is regarding jackpots, not necessarily Multiball ballsave.
Here's an example I found on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2Ka8sAbcVY
at 5:03 the ball drains, at 5:06 the left ramp is hit but no jackpot
award is given (mode ended). I think Spidy has more grace times than
this and I prefer about 3 seconds or so.

Grace Perio!. We don't need no stinking Grace Periods. IM is awesome,
just don't blink.

To clarify, BBH does have grace periods including mb jackpots. (this
is on a ver.1.60 machine).
