-timelimit duration (global)
Exit after ffmpeg has been running for duration seconds in CPU user time.

(not clock time)

You probably want -t ("When used as an input option (before -i), limit the 
duration of data read from the input file.)

Not needed with this one, but always post the complete output w/o 
-hide_banner (check the list FAQ for more info).

Later,
