Usually I can use it for ~5-10 minutes, and then any attempt to start any X11 application from the same terminal (e.g. open a new instance of emacs) fails. However, I can continue to use any already started X11 application.
This sounds like an issue at the remote end. ssh is still tunneling the connection, but it (sshd) is not accepting new connections.
Have you recently updated your version of ssh on the remote system? libc? kernel? Try rolling back to older versions to see if the problem goes away.
