> over-emphasizing how "difficult" a problem is to solve and choosing to avoid it because of the "time" it would take

I heard a while back Claude refused to attempt a task for days, saying it would take weeks of work. Eventually the user convinced it to try, and it one-shotted it in 30 seconds.

For days? Someone spent days trying to convince Claude to do something?

    If you asked yesterday, and asked again today, then you asked for days. OP might be trying to express that it wasn’t just a temporary fluke.
