AI agents have no sense of time and are not aware of it

Summary

AI coding assistants like Claude Code and Codex have no sense of time, according to a new study. Both systematically overestimate how long tasks will take. Codex is off by as much as ten times the actual duration. They also rate their own work about 20 percentage points too high. For long, autonomous tasks, that creates a real problem with oversight.
