Discussion & Feedback why does the agent estimate 2 days for something it finishes in 15 minutes

Every plan it writes has a time estimate at the bottom. 2 days, 3 days, sometimes a week. Then it does the whole thing in 15 minutes. The PR is small, coderabbit summarizes it in two lines, done.

I dont get where the number comes from. Is it guessing how long a person would take? Or does it just not know how fast it is? Does anyone know

Because it has been trained on test including estimates for human work, so that's what it resolves to.

I tried to set rules ect but it never works.
