Yes please do more to explain to people how much time something will take. I have lost count the number of times I start to answer a survey (cuz I'm happy to provide feedback) but after 3-4 questions, I'm thinking "yeah I don't have THIS much time") and give up.

Good point! We already have an open pull request to have the "time to complete" calculated and displayed at the beginning of the survey. https://github.com/formbricks/formbricks/pull/1461

Another idea would be to let the survey creator know the current length/time to complete the survey, and if it's getting too long, show them advice on how to make it shorter, and show them that they will lose participants otherwise.

Having a reverse countdown is valuable too.

3-2-1 steps to go is more engaging than step 1-2-3.

Same goes for a progress bar that says the percent remaining instead of the percent complete.

Would be awesome to be able to customize this in a way that looks natural.
