Affirmed. See Saia Motor Freight Line, Inc. v. Reid, 930 So. 2d 598, 600 (Fla. 2006) (recognizing that Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.525 "establishe[s] a bright-line time requirement for motions for costs and attorney fees"); Hovercraft of S. Fla., LLC v. Reynolds, 211 So. 3d 1073, 1076 (Fla. 5th DCA 2017) (holding that a reservation of jurisdiction to award fees does not determine fee entitlement under AmerUs Life Ins. Co. v.
