Change to mechanical shutter. Electronic first curtain might also work but full electronic is limited in shutter time

'might work'?

Electronic first curtain is the default shutter mode in the R5 and there's only one use case for mechanical shutter: shooting wide aperture and high shutter speed.

Long exposure probably means landscape photography and there is literally zero reasons to shoot landscapes in mechanical shutter mode or electronic shutter.

Apart from this 0.5s limit, ES also reduces the dynamic range, it enforces 12-bit raws.
