By using the B frame data compression method, you can record 1080p Full HD video at 30p in H.264/MPEG-4 AVC format with unmatched moving image integrity for up to approx. 29 min. 59 s* of recording in a single clip.

*Maximum recording time varies according to frame rate, frame size and image quality settings. Maximum recording time for time-lapse photography is 20 min.

About 30 mins, from the Nikon site.

DSLR is not design for recording long duration, the is a very high chance of overheating sensor if you keep doing this.
