Yes, that's the one.

The relevant part of the two check logs is
> * checking CRAN incoming feasibility ... [4s/6s] NOTE
> Maintainer: ‘Mark Webster <markwebster204 using yahoo.co.uk>’The NOTE is the only thing mentioned WRT the pre-checks failing.I've copied the original email below.Looking at the email, the Windows build does look to have overrun the 10minchecktime limit, but when I've had that reported back before it's been after thepre-check, so I assume that's not the issue here.

Given the above, would it be reasonable to reply to this as a false positive?
Best Regards,Mark
