On free runners I'd regularly hit the 1 hour limit. Took some time to set up self-hosted through EC2 and really optimize caching, its now down to 10-20 mins, depending on the repo. Most of that is because of the self-hosted runners, the free ones are painfully slow.

Still, on my local machine these jobs would take 5 mins so its not perfect. And as the build gets more complicated and more stages are added, the problem compounds since the initial download is the slowest part.
