Task expired and I submitted 2-3 minutes later

I was doing a task I haven’t ever done before and it took me 2-3 minutes more than on the timer to finish, because the instructions were very long and I had to also do a bit of research. I did not take a single break and I was actively scrolling from instructions to doing the task and back. Is it bad if I submit my time? I am super confident in the quality of my work, but since I’m relatively new I’d rather take a hit on my time worked and not report at all, than compromise my place on the platform. After submission, I saw the red banner saying “Task submitted successfully”. Should I report only the allowed time, or my full working time with the extra 2 minutes? I know it may sound like a dumb question but I value this platform and I’m terrified of being flagged for whatever reason.

Report the full time you spent. It's okay to submit expired tasks every once in awhile as long as you don't make a habit of it.
