Problem with change speed duration

Hello, I have a problem with changing the speed of a clip lasting more than 20 minutes. When I enter a value such as 200% and 300%, the program automatically gives me a percentage that does not exceed 24 hours (with 20-minute clips, the problem is with entering 200%, with 1-hour clips, 200% and 300%). I have tried many methods, such as changing the keyboard language or testing different versions, and nothing helps. The problem appeared from one day to the next, when I had never had anything like this before. At the same time, I am a fairly new film editor and I do not know if I accidentally clicked some option of the 24-hour clip length limiter, etc.

Please be understanding and I will be grateful for your help

Best regards, Wayfarer

FWIW I was able to replicate this problem. I reported it as a bug. Wish I had a better solution for you!

Just type your duration starting from end or just start with 9, i.e. 9200 and then remove first character (9)

A Premiere Pro sequence cannot exceed 24 hours. That's actually a limit of SMPTE timecode, because it has no way to track DAYS so very 24 hours the code would have to reset to 00:00:00:00.

I'm confused though: you're setting your speed to 200 or 300% but that should be making your clips shorter, not longer. 200% speed of a 20 minute clip would be 10 minutes. But even if you meant 50% speed a 1-hour clip would be two hours. How exacrly are you getting these durations close to 24 hours?

When I enter the first number, i.e. 1 or 2 or 3 (100%/200%/300%), Adobe automatically gives a low %, so the clip suggests a time of 24 hours. I am attaching a screenshot https://imgur.com/a/47bJJpN . I even used the adobe clean tool and the problem still hasn't been solved
