Hey ho,
first of all i would say you need to set your focus just a little bit more on the details in your pictures if you are rendering pictures in big resolutions like yours. The first thing i saw in this picture was the hair that is poking through the hand of the model, the second thing was the arm of the jacket on her left arm. The arm looks twisted and it seems like it's overlapping! Maybe you should play a bit with the mesh smoothing of the jacket to fix this problem.
No hate. I'm just being honest.
The lighting is good so far. This image is better than the most things i've seen in some Daz Groups on Facebook or Deviantart.
Just to be clear, i'm just a new member here. Joined today because of my wife. She told me about this page. I'm rendering since 2014.
Check them out. Here are two of them.

I would reccomend dreamlight's HDRI packages, those you can find at least. Not Dreamlight's render settings perhaps (they can be brutal for weaker end machines) but the HDRIs are a must. Also Cake and Bob's HDRI packages, for all sorts of external environment renders... And of course, there are DMs sets, mostof which come with light and HDRI presets, that can save you plenty of effort for specific scenes. But, ou also have one additional option. There are royalty free HDRI images you can use. Both for illumination and as background environments for your scenes. Just google "free HDRI maps" and you should be able to ind at least one or two sites that offer legally free HDRIs

So, in your case it was the quality settings you set that shorten the render time so much. Not the 'Max time (secs)' -10200 seconds are 170 minutes- and obviously not the 'Max samples' count you set either. However, it still does not make much sense to me. I mean, if you set 'Rendering Quality Enable' to On, my understanding is that by increasing the value of the 'Rendering quality' parameter you are putting the quality bar higher and hence making the render time longer. And you set it to 6, which is a high value. And my understanding of how the 'Rendering converged ratio' works from a practical point of view is similar: the higher you set it, the more time the rendering is gonna take. And you set it to 99 percent. And the size of your final renders does not look small either.
What is it that I am missing here? Because I honestly can't understand how with those settings you completed that render under the 1-minute mark. With that said, I started rendering very recently and I don't enable 'Rendering Quality Enable' to make my renders, so it is highly likely that I am overlooking something important in your settings.

I'm literally in the same boat, it makes zero sense. All the other settings are default.

I'm rendering something else right now, same settings, different lights and scene.
