Same experience. This is why I will no longer do take home tests that take more than 90 minutes or look like they'll take more than 90 minutes (even if the company misjudges it).

The only exception I've made is if the company pays for the time.

Fwiw that job we had an explicit goal of 60 minutes or less and tested that against engineers we’d already hired.

I’ve heard guidance that said up to 4 hours was a fine. That might have been true back then before employers abused the system and made code tests just another hoop, not a replacement for, interviewing.
