Not quite, it's still missing something: KUDI01__LWH2

I did read in the manual that water temperature could impact the cycle time. I am not sure what could impact that.
Some possibilities might include not running the hot tap at the sink before starting the dishwasher, water heater temperature set low or malfunctioning. The *starting* (aka 'incoming') water to the dishwasher should be between 120-140°F.

The dishwasher might also not be heating the water or its sensor not detecting the water temperature.

It did seem like it was hot and steamy inside the dishwasher when I opened it after cancelling the cycle. Any tips on how to determine if this is the problem?
Actually testing the water's temperature rather than relying on antidotal evidence might help to dissuade that as a possibility.

Depending on exactly where in the cycle the unit is 'stalling' there could be other functions the machine is waiting for. Someone would need to check the machine's 'tech sheet' and compare that timing to what should be occurring at that point in the cycle to see what else might cause it.
