I've never seen 45m to mean minutes

I see XXm for minutes all the time (USA), but definitely not in contexts like this where it is easily confused for miles (edit: or meters).

It’s used for elapsed time not for time intervals. They have the same units but different usage.

How did it take them three quarters of an hour to walk only 45 meters?

Is that context in the title?

I was about to say I’ve seen it, but nope, I agree. Even putting it in context, like “1m43s” isn’t something I’d see often. “1 min. 43 sec.” is what I would expect.
