Only a few seconds of a longer audio track are available when placing in project:Trim Limit Reached

I've struck a new issue where the audio track of 4 minutes or so will shrink to just a few seconds when I place it on my timeline. Screenshot shows the track lengths, but then you can see the tracks themselves are reduced to just a few seconds when added to my project timeline.

 

I've tried a number of different audio files and when I try to drag them out to a longer duration I get the message "Trim Media Limit Reached". Is there a fix for this please?

Perhaps another screenshot could be helpful or some added description. In your photo you have a ~12 second clip selected in your Project Panel, and that same ~12 second clip open in the Source Monitor. Presumably the 12 second clip is also the small one in the timeline on A3.

 

If that 12 second clip is meant to be a lot longer than that then something is up with it where Premiere didn't read it properly even on import. You could try reacuiring the clip from where you sourced it, or transcoding it with another software outside of the Adobe Ecosystem, like with Shutter Encoder. Transcode it to a WAV.

 

The only other audio track in your project is 5 mins 11 seconds in duration and that appears to be on track A1.
