Smaller size video than Premiere Pro estimated after exporting settings

Question

Hello! I am a biginner in Premiere Pro. I want to export a video that in timeline is 2h22m. I made all settings for exporting (H.264, modified the video bitrate from 32 to 25 in order to decrease the size of the movie, 1920x1080,  framerate 50, PAL). The Estimated File Size was 26 Gb. Clicked "Export" and then showed me the "Encoding" window and waited 3 hours until 100%. After all of these, my result is a 7 Gb movie, and, it stops at minute 40, even if in the player's timeline it has 2h22m. If I put the pointer on the file icon, it also shows me 2h22m. I exported videos  in the past (even longer than this) using the same version (Premiere Pro CC 2017), with no problems like these. Thank you!

I tried more softs like VLC, Windows Media Player, but I donț think this is the problem. From the start, the estimated file size in Premiere is 26 Gb, and my final file size is 7 Gb.

Hey, Jim, I want to thank you very much for your time. I found the problem. It was the space on the partition. I did't know that 50Gb aren't enough for processing a 26Gb video. I found, somewhere on this forum, that Premier Pro needs at least 2x the space of the final file. I didn't know that. Thank you, again!

What do you see past the 40 minute mark?
