Is this a time limit that is set by the content? There are exceptions for real-time events and essential time limits but I doubt that either of them apply here.

Possibly of interest: wider question about notifications/toasts and
2.2.1 https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/976

> If this SC is failed, then remediating it requires you to either allow the user to turn off or adjust the time limit before encountering it, or issue a warning that it is about to expire and give the user the option of extending it. I can't imagine either of these solutions being acceptable in the situation described.

Alternatively, in this situation - though it would be quite a change -
the notification could happen *after* the reload/redirect, when the
homepage is displayed.

Or - simply not having the automatic redirect, but making the
notification show something the success message and a "Back to homepage"
link that they have to actively follow.
