The speaker can limit the time.
In the U.S. House of Representatives, there is no specific maximum time limit for how long a bill can be debated. However, the House often sets time limits for debate on individual bills through a special rule or unanimous consent agreement, which can vary widely, typically ranging from a few minutes to several hours. Additionally, the House can use procedures like "closed rules" to restrict debate or amendments. Ultimately, the time allocated for debate is determined by the House leadership and the rules established for each specific bill.

Congress does not have time limits. Individual congressmen have time limits in the sense that their term of office runs out, but Congress itself can take as much time as it likes.

To start a Hindi debate, you should begin by introducing the topic clearly and succinctly. Outline the rules and time limits for speakers, and designate someone to moderate the debate. Encourage participants to present their arguments respectfully and logically.
The Senate does not have a time limit. The only real time limit for the Senate is that they have to vote on the bill before that Congressional session ends. If the session ends before the bill is sent to the President's desk, for any reason whatsoever (no matter how trivial the reason is), then the bill "dies," and they have to start all over the next January (when the next session begins). This often leads to abuse, which is called a "filibuster," where one Senator who opposes a bill will attempt to just talk endlessly until the bill is withdrawn, or the session ends. To combat a filibuster, 3/5 of the Senate (currently, sixty Senators) can invoke a "cloture," which limits a bill to one hour of debate. This is the only time the Senate has a time limit other than the Congressional session.
