Interview task unreasonable

Been interviewing for my dream job. After a call, they asked me to deliver a task. OK no problem. Got the instructions, and it's HOURS of work. Like you would expect someone full time to deliver in a week and they know I'm already full time with another company. Sometimes in the past, I've declined at this point but I really want this job. So spending my weekend on the tasks and feeling annoyed before I even started. Honestly, about half of this task would be reasonable yet a struggle with current employment. Rant over. I'm doing it anyway, late nights this week. But when did this become normal? I'm not even super senior, just middle manager.
