English term or phrase: reaching your time limit / go overtime
Guidelines for giving a presentation at a conference:

"If your presentation is reaching your time limit, wrap up quickly. You can pick up the points you missed during question period. If you go over time, your audience will tune out or leave in frustration or anger."

I was given .."estourar limite de tempo" e "se estourar o tempo" but these constructions seem too Br to me. Is there something else that is more Pt-friendly (while also making sense in Br?) As you can guess I have a mixed audience. Thanks muchly!
