No rider is required under any AERC rules to stop and help another
rider, under any circumstances.  Most (not all) endurance riders will,
though.

Under current rules there is *no* provision for a rider earning a
completion if finishing after the time limit, *no matter what the
circumstances.*  Although any member can petition the Board for
anything they wish, I know of no case where the Board has approved a
completion for an overtime rider, and I doubt they would do so.
