He doesn't have a limit. IMO, he will go longer to attempt to limit the Democratic response.

As soon as I heard he planned to speak, I was laughing. He will have great difficulty reading a script for eight minutes. Thus, he is very likely to go off-script.

Also, he'll be doing that puckering thing he does and sucking in his cheeks to re-align his loose-fitting dentures. Only, I wonder... are his denture really poorly fitted, or does it just FEEL that way to him when he's high on the crushed Adderall he's snorted.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adderall

Adderall, Adderall XR, and Mydayis are combination drugs containing four salts of the two enantiomers of amphetamine, a central nervous system stimulant of the phenethylamine class. Adderall is used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and narcolepsy.

Did you notice when he went to be seated, how he manipulated his lower lip?

That is the first clue to how much crushed Adderall he snorted before the cameras role...

I am predicting LOTS of sniffs...

and he’ll yell about terrorists, disease, drugs, crime, rape, Democrats, Clinton, Obama, BLM, etc. Hope he becomes confused and disoriented tonight.

Waiting for the moment he loses it is why it’s hard not to tune in.

Like offering a Dreamer deal and other immigration reforms Dems want in exchange for his dumb wall. I am confident our side will reject anything he offers. Their best counter will be we can't trust anything the man says and the primary focus is simply reopening the government. Immigration reform is an entirely different matter that will be negotiated another time.

The time is very short. He controls everything - no audience, no reporters, the White House for a background. He will likely have a text that he reads that will try to reframe everything. The reality that nothing got worse at the border - other than humanitarian tragedies cause by him.
