The 10 minute time limit setting can be found by going to Preferences - Miscellaneous. Change it to Never abort and try again. Running longer than 10 minutes isn't unusual especially for PDF conversions using Heuristics.

@PeterT and @BetterRed are correct in pointing out that other options are available.

I'm surprised to hear you say this. You have been here long enough (forever? ) to know that we are up front about the limits of PDF conversions with calibre and often refer folks to other solutions.
