I didn't find it too difficult. It took me about 10 minutes to solve it. But, I didn't start till about 40 minutes ago. It was solved, and usually is, a couple hours before I've even read it. Central Daylight Time is about 6 hours earlier than your time. If I'm awake at 3 am my time it's usually because the coyotes are howling outside my bedroom window.
I'm not advocating for changing the "official" start time of the CCC. I am trying to solve them, it's just that I'm starting late so there's no reason to respond if I do solve it (unless I have a pithy comment).

I've only just looked at it ( having read this post) and no, doesn't strike me as hard. Easier than many of yours, I'd say. (That's not to say I would necessarily have got it, but it's not a complex or dodgy clue)

I just re-watched "Pump Up the Volume" (1990) and Harry's opening monologue is still accurate.

Idiots, they are simply idiots.
So, on my new Windows 11 Pro laptop, I was notified that hey, it's time for an update. We estimate 3 minutes apply and reboot. Thinking I might as well get it over with, I say "Rodger dodger."
It's been going now for 45 minutes, has rebooted 3 times, and I'm going to bed. I guess this is what happens when your OS is a tightly tangled bowl of spaghetti.

I have to count myself lucky. I've never had an update problem, although a couple of MS updates seemed to mess up my VPN but also seemed to be fixed in short order. And even luckier considering how often Dell wants to update its BIOS. I'd have thought a BIOS would be left alone for longer.
