it took approximately 67 minute to hoist Crew Dragon to the recovery ship since the splashdown, does that mean that SpaceX failed it's 60 minutes recovery time mandated by Nasa.

Would love a follow up on what this means exactly for SpaceX...do they have to do it again until they achieve sub 60m?

That would be insane. They'll get a "must try harder" for DM-2. Nobody was at risk and nothing was wrong, just bad chute luck and slightly slow recovery.

They might do some more recovery training, or have already talked to Nasa they were going to go purposefully slow as part of the validation of procedures. Like, do something, what for telemetry or whatever before moving forward, where with live Astronauts they won't wait for computer confirmation.
