Imam Ahmad rahimahullah said, “Allah has mentioned patience in the Qur’an in 90 places.”
Patience in the Qur’an: Six Benefits
1. Instruction: Patience is enjoyed upon the Believers.
وَاصْبِرْ وَمَا صَبْرُكَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ
And endure patiently, your patience is not but from Allah. (16:127)
وَاصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ فَإِنَّكَ بِأَعْيُنِنَا
So wait patiently for the Decision of your Lord, for verily, you are under Our Eyes. (52:48)
2. That which is opposite to patience is forbidden
So wait with patience for the Decision of your Lord, and be not like the Companion of the Fish – when he cried out (to Us) while he was in deep sorrow. (68:48)
3. Patience is made a condition of success and prosperity
O you who believe! Endure and be more patient, and guard your territory by stationing army units permanently at the places from where the enemy can attack you, and fear Allah, so that you may be successful. (3:200)
4. The reward of those who exercise patience is doubled
These will be given their reward twice over, because they are patient, and repel evil with good, and spend out of what We have provided them. (28:54)
Only those who are patient shall receive their reward in full, without reckoning. (39:10)
Sulayman ibn Qasim said, “the reward of every deed is known, except for the reward of patience which will be like heavy rain.”
5. Patience and emaan are pre-requisites for leadership in religion
And We made from among them (Children of Israel), leaders, giving guidance under Our Command, when they were patient and used to believe with certainty in Our Ayat. (32:24)
6. Patience is the way to earn the Companionship of Allah
And be patient. Surely, Allah is with those who are patient. (8:46)

And seek assistance through patience and prayer, and most surely it is a hard thing except for the humble ones, Quran 2:45. Truly has God said, indeed its difficult. Thanks for the selective verses of the Quran on patience – its indeed and eye-opener.

It doesn’t say what the reward is for patience, or the benefit to the individual.
Regarding what you said about the ayah
So wait with patience for the Decision of your Lord, and be not like the Companion of the Fish – when he cried out (to Us) while he was in deep sorrow. (68:48)
It’s okay to call out to our Lord for help. As we know, Prophet Yunus was not patient with his people. So it may be that when Allah tells us not to be like him it was when he lost patience with his people, not when he was calling out for help to his Lord in the fish.
And Allah knows best.
