Render Time (minutes)

The maximum number of minutes the render will be allowed to continue. When Render Animation window opens it reads this setting from your normal Render Time setting.

Sampling Level

When the render attains the Sampling Level specified here, processing will stop. When Render Animation window opens it reads this setting from your normal Sampling Level setting.

For animation render you usually have to use shorter Render Time and lower Sampling Level values. With these controls you can set these values independently from your original (single frame) render settings.
