The language still is, just not the environment in which it runs. Much like a language can be Turing-complete without having infinite tape/memory to run on.

When people say "Turing-complete" it's usually assumed that we are talking about computational models which could emulate Turing machines given infinite memory. But we don't have infinite memory.
Adding time limits radically changes things.
