Finally got my very first task... went above allotted time

Hey,

mostly writing this hoping someone will quell my fears.

Been waiting for 2 months to get a paid task, today I finally got one.

Except when I opened it, it gave me 2 hours not only to do the task, but also to study all of the guidelines (the qual did not metion any of them at all).

I ended up going at least 30 minutes over, and submitted an expired task.

Did I just screw myself forever, or is it understood that the first task might take considerably longer?

Btw, I still logged 1 hour 59 minutes as my time worked.
