src/readahead/readahead.c has:

usec_t arg_timeout = 2*USEC_PER_MINUTE;

so, it's by design to stop after 2 minutes.

That's for a good reason, I'm not sure if changing it makes much sense
- most people will never want to use non-standard values, and 2
minutes helps everyone (it could help some non-standard cases more,
but it doesn't hurt anyone).
