Please read the description carefully. :)
VERY IMPORTANT!!! The camera has 2 DIFFERENT overheat warning icons. First one is the normal one that tells you that you're SOL with video recording. But the second one, found in the manual on the page 290 saying "If a (camera and a thermometer. This is the "regular" overheat warning) icon OR A red (thermometer. This one is kinda an ACTUAL overheat warning icon) icon appears during movie recording, the card may be hot, so stop recording the movie and let the camera cool down before removing the card. (Do not remove the card immediately)
So now that that is out of the way, hello! :D
I read on the magic lantern forum that someone figured out a way to reset the overheat timer! I'll just copy the text here as is and put the link to it under:
GOOD NEWS!!
Results:
I let the camera overheat after 29:59 + 8:07 mins of recording. Was not able to record anything
I changed the date and time to one day later and confirmed then went back to canon menu
Dummy battery disconnect immediately after changing date and time
Overheating times seems to have reset. The date and time that was changed saved on reboot. All footage was recorded to the SD card successfully
I proceeded to record in a cooler room. It recorded for 29:59 + 13:03 then overheated. So being in a cooler room did help
I then disconnected the dummy battery WITHOUT changing the date and time +1 day. I turned the camera back on and the overheating warning was still there.
I also tried changing the date +1 day and then waiting a few seconds in liveview, then battery pull. The overheating warning was still there.
I changed the date +1 again and immediately removed the battery. Voila. Overheating timer gone! All other settings saved.
TLDR; basically, unlimited record time. All footage saved. If camera is overheating, change date +1 day and immediately pull dummy battery to reset overheating timer.
Thanks visionrouge(dot)net for the idea! This makes using this camera extremely worry free professionally for me. I wonder if we can make a script that can emulate those steps to trick the overheating timer. I encourage someone else to replicate this test on R6 and R5
