I'm not aware of any fixed limits on recording duration with the HyperDeck recorders, however, they will automatically rollover into a new file after many hours of continuous recording.
It's not really documented in the manual how many hours can be recorded before this file split happens, although there was mention in the announcement for the updated HyperDeck models that this was improved in the new versions, and you can now get multiple hours of video in a single clip. My guess is that the file split behavior may vary somewhat based on the resolution, frame rate, and encoding quality selected, so it's probably not a fixed number of hours regardless of recording settings.
Note that the deck doesn't stop recording when rolling over into a new file, and there shouldn't be any dropped frames, but if you look at the video on the drive after a session, you might see the 12 hour recording split over four files, for example.
