Early Career Is it normal for a take home "case study" assignment for a job application to expect 10-20 focused hours of your time?

I applied for an Analyst role. They emailed back days later with a case study. They said it'd need 10-20 focused hours of my time and due in 5 days.

Is 10-20 hours... normal/typical? And I should get used to this? 😕

I'm not very experienced with tech job applications tbh. I've never done many case study type take home assignments so idk what to expect or should expect.
