How high are firm's expectations when it comes to VI's? I was cut off on one answer but other than that I feel like it went ok, is being cut off likely to harm my chances?

If only slightly cut off, then I don’t think this is an issue. For instance if you had made your points and was just wrapping up the answer and got cut off, this would be very different to being cut off at less than half way through your answer.

Candidates running out of time happens a lot though, so I don’t think it is an issue. It is more about what you said before you got cut off really.

Thank you so much, this is reassuring, I was cut off as I was finishing explaining what I learnt from the experience I had, so I'm hoping that this does not, in and of itself, harm my chances of progressing
