When performing Ghusl Janabat under a shower I wash the body parts multiple times to ensure I haven't missed any area, and it takes me approximately 30 minutes to complete it. Is this reasonable or am I am being too careful?
When performing Ghusl Janabat under a shower it's taking me approximately 30 minutes, Is Ghusl Janabat supposed to take this long i.e. 30 minutes? Because sometimes I get doubts so I wash the body parts multiple times to ensure I haven't missed any area?

A ghusl itself should not take you more than a minute or two. Please keep in mind that when one excessively doubts and repeats their act multiple times, this will lead to waswasah, and simple things will become very difficult.
