It does not. Just hit my personal best with it a few days ago — 13:04. Highest I've yet heard of outside of professional competitions. :)

alamedaI took a screenshot on my watch of the time, but I don't usually record the spins because I do it constantly while I'm at work. Not really trying to prove anything here. ツ
I average about 10-11 minutes most days, though I do exceed 12 pretty regularly. I've only hit 13 twice now, out of thousands of spins.
As far as tips are concerned, take your time setting up your spin.
Use a base that is as smooth and hard as possible, and slightly concave. Clean it completely — we're talking obsessive, surgical cleanliness here, and keep it that way. I use multiple grades of microfiber, and every time I see so much as a speck of dust or a particle of brass I clean it all over again. Use gentle brushes to clear debris at first to prevent scratching (jeans actually work well for this), then fog it with your breath and rub the surface gently with successively finer microfiber until it's pristine. Takes fewer than 30 seconds, and makes a huge difference.
Make sure the top is level, and press downwards very slightly to help stablize it. Without taking your fingers off the knurled grip or letting that little bit of pressure off, twist the top as far as it will go in the opposite direction before reversing and letting go with just a bit of a snap. This adds considerably more torque.
Then do it a thousand more times, and don't get discouraged when you mess up. Practice is pretty much everything. :)
