Need Help Quickly ... Cpu / Project

[Purge]

The timeline in my project is overwhelmingly long, spanning about 40,000 bars, yet the project itself only contains 65 bars. I'm currently finalizing the last track of my EP and encountering an issue. Although the project is relatively small and I'm using an M1 Max Mac, my timeline's excessive length seems to be taxing my CPU as it attempts to render sections without any sound. I need to locate the project setting that restricts my entire project to the length of my bars.I'm struggling to mix a project that uses over 30 plugins, which is unusual because I normally handle projects with even more plugins, tracks, and sends without issue.
