If this actually rings true, there's something pretty wrong in your team.
Stand up should be a quick and uncontroversial meeting talking about what you've done, what you'll do and anything you need help with, plus maybe a couple of minutes of small talk before you start.
My team does this for the first ~15 minutes and then we move to "group think" for any tough problems or "water cooler chat" for the remaining 15. You're allowed to leave if it's just water cooler chat, so I really like it
That sounds about 25 mins longer than i'm willing to call a standup.
if it's not wrapped up within 10 mins of the scheduled start time something has gone horribly wrong
