Re: Help with compile timeout
welcome to the forum!
LaTeX is free and there's no premium version. You can install it on your computer, I recommend TeX Live.
Perhaps you mean Overleaf, you did not mention it though. That's a commercial service. They provide a cloud computing infrastructure with space and processor capacity, an online editor with many features, and employ many people for doing this. So they require money to run this, through their premium service. A very basic service is free, but with limited performance, as you noticed it.
Looks like you can decide between installing LaTeX yourself or buy a premium Overleaf license. Many universities and institutions have an institutional license, so their students can use it for free, you could check this.
