Can you get penalized for running a few minutes over on a case interview?

If you finish a case interview that's supposed to last 45 minutes in like 47-50 or so, does that mean you are too slow and will be automatically dinged?

My understanding is that that little time shouldn’t even be noted because it should be a conversation. If the case is going so poorly that a few extra minutes becomes of note, it was over anyways.
