Is there a way around the 30 minute limit for 4K video?

It's fall and leaves are falling. Shock.
So I set up my camera to record falling leaves with the idea that I'd cut and speed it up so it looked like a leaf blizzard.
However after 30 minutes Canon apparently stops recording.
Is there a way around that? I'd like it to run until the battery dies or the card is full; assuming there's not a thermal limit but I don't think there is a thermal limit for 4K 29fps video is there?
Thanks for any help!
Short answer is No and I also hate the limit. It used to be required for sales going to Europe but no more. Canon dropped it from the R3, R10,R7 and now the R6 II changed it's limit to 6 hours. This is a great improvement. People like me keep hoping Canon will give us R5 owners a firmware update to get rid of this 29:59 limit. It is no longer needed or wanted.
I now use my R7 for long video recordings. It has no limit whatsoever. I would prefer to be able to get this on the R5 and then use the R5.
I do wish they would update the R6 and R5 to remove the limit but it might be a grandfathered certification issue with those bodies.
As in they passed European certification based on previous products like the 5D\6D series and removing the limit via firmware would require they re-certify the Cameras.
Just WAG best on some the dealings I have had with Dell certification of servers for different regions.
For the OP, the only way around it is an external recorder like a Atomos Ninja V
Cheers
Is the certification issue related to thermal effects?

Chris and Jordan are enjoying some well deserved time off this week, so we're taking a trip in the wayback machine to revisit the launch of Canon's original full-frame mirrorless camera, the EOS R. Give it a watch to see how far Canon's mirrorless line has come.
The a7R V is the fifth iteration of Sony's high-end, high-res full-frame mirrorless camera. The new 60MP Mark IV, gains advanced AF, focus stacking and a new rear screen arrangement. We think it excels at stills.
Topaz Labs' flagship app uses AI algorithms to make some complex image corrections really, really easy. But is there enough here to justify its rather steep price?
Ultra-wide to short telephoto?! The Sony FE 20-70mm F4 G has a very useful focal range, so we took it to the mountains to see how it performs.
After weeks with a production Sony a7R V, Chris and Jordan present their final conclusions.
Above $2500 cameras tend to become increasingly specialized, making it difficult to select a 'best' option. We case our eye over the options costing more than $2500 but less than $4000, to find the best all-rounder.
There are a lot of photo/video cameras that have found a role as B-cameras on professional film productions or even A-cameras for amateur and independent productions. We've combed through the options and selected our two favorite cameras in this class.
What’s the best camera for around $2000? These capable cameras should be solid and well-built, have both the speed and focus to capture fast action and offer professional-level image quality. In this buying guide we’ve rounded up all the current interchangeable lens cameras costing around $2000 and recommended the best.
Family moments are precious and sometimes you want to capture that time spent with loved ones or friends in better quality than your phone can manage. We've selected a group of cameras that are easy to keep with you, and that can adapt to take photos wherever and whenever something memorable happens.
What's the best camera for shooting sports and action? Fast continuous shooting, reliable autofocus and great battery life are just three of the most important factors. In this buying guide we've rounded-up several great cameras for shooting sports and action, and recommended the best.
