Why is my render taking so long and crashing?

Hey guys, just got after effects and am already hating the crap out of it. I used to use after effects 7 back and the day and have never ran into this problem. I’m currently trying to render about 4 minute video which basically the only effects I’m using are scaling, rotation, particle effects and some motion pixel blur. The concept is to just have the video rotating zooming out, when ever I go to render it jumps to 200+ hours and then fails about 11 hours in. I’m currently using a Mac Studio with the M4 max processor and 36gbs of ram.

Ive tried all the solutions on the internet, including Turning off multi frame rendering, apple pro res encoding, QuickTime format, emptying the cache, pdf image rendering, allocating the ram just for after effects, etc…

Im trying to render the video to my ssd which has 2100mb/s write speed. Maybe thats the issue? I want to render it to my computer harddrive but its currently full due to all of my recording files/plugins/sample files.

what should I do?!?
