Since we never see Hawkmoth after he empowers an Akuma, it is unknown if he has to transform back or not. It could be that after he does this, he loses the ability to empower another Akuma and has 5 minutes before he reverts back to his real form.

If my theory is correct, while Ladybug and Cat Noir are fighting the Akumatized of the week (onscreen), he is getting Nooroo to recharge (offscreen) so he can transform back to Hawkmoth as soon as possible. I assume this is necessary because he will need to use his powers to communicate with the Akumatized or he may need to create empower another Akuma if the first fails.
