i have a question regarding this rule

"Force exiting the game (Alt-F4) is only allowed when game menus are permanently inaccessible.".

So when you submit a pop run you need to watch the cutscene for time to count, however since i'm on console i can't use savestates to keep access after completing it, only way i've found to keep path of pain is to fully exit the game (cannot open menu when cutscene is playing), does this scenario relate to the rule above since menu technically cannot be accesed?
