I think they expired 2012.
I went for 2x40 mins with an inversion every 20 and a proper agitation in the middle.
I haven’t scanned yet but they look quite good.
The mistake (I knew there would be one) was on loading the film onto stainless steel spirals. I should have (and have since) practiced. That bit was far harder than excepted in a dark bag cramped by a large, five-roll canister. I’ve only previously used plastic spirals (about 20 years ago) which I remember being pretty difficult to fuck up. Three of the rolls have some undeveloped patches where film touched film.
A good bit of learning. I plan to do more.

Just do 2x30
Or do 2x40 if you have something else to do that takes longer than an hour
Or forget about it and go to bed and finish it in the morning
It probably won't make any difference that you can notice.
As long as you agitate once in roughly the middle it usually prevents any problems with uneven development.
How old is your film?
