You declared and initialized count inside the while loop. Move it outside and it will stop reinitializing to zero every iteration, and thus quit on time. I'm unclear why you've declared it static, as well.

Note
If you intend to use queued signals and handle events, make sure you periodically call processEvents on the thread's event dispatcher inside your while loop:

if (thread()->eventDispatcher()->hasPendingEvents()
    thread()->eventDispatcher()->processEvents();
