Obama is a headline speaker. Every single DNC speech he has given in front of a crowd since 2008 has lasted much longer than 30 minutes.

I doubt Obama will be one of the shortened speeches

I think there are arguments for both sides. I appreciate your perspective and I think you have a point. I’m just gonna stick with my bet on this one. Good luck

didn't "miss" 2012, I just looked at 2004 and 2008 because they're the equivalents of Obama's 2020 and 2024 respectively. But you're right, 2012 (and 2016, when his wife was the nominee) his speeches were over 30 min. So... I guess makes it 50/50 which direction Obama will go? Though if you look at the longer-term record of post presidency DNC speeches, they tend to get shorter as time goes on not longer.

I think it'll be shorter, just because he wouldn't want to take the spotlight off of Michelle

This is a pretty misleading way of wording things! In 2008 and 2012 he was...the nominee. The nominee always gives a long speech. In 2016, he was the sitting president. And in 2020, as you noted, he didn't speak in front of a crowd. 2024 is our first experience of what a post-presidency Obama convention speech looks like. A good model to look at would be Bill Clinton. In 2000 (his version of Obama's 2016) his speech was 48 minutes. In 2004 and 2008, his speeches were 22 and 25 minutes long.

Look at the length of Obama's speeches in front of national audiences over the years. The dude likes to hear himself talk for longer and longer with every passing year
