That's a-ok, I often tell candidates that if they can't, no worries and they're welcome to apply again later on down the line or if they no longer want to apply that it's absolutely fine as well. It's never really had as negative reaction , most people understand that you have to be assessed in some way. Also, I make sure to tell people that if you need more time it in no way negatively affects how we assess the assignment.

And if you were, say, interviewing a single mother who absolutely did not have the time or resources to take your test, you would effectively be removing her and all people like her from your candidate pool which is a nice way to discriminate against a class of people without leaving much evidence of doing so explicitly.

Not at all-- I'd absolutely change and flex my process to accommodate someone in that situation. I never said I wouldn't from my original comment, that was something you inferred. If you know a single mother who needs a great coding gig, feel free to paste a LinkedIn and I'll reach out.
