If a user is highly enthu in building a habit and the user is blocked for 2 days, it negatively impacts their morale and increases chances of the user dropping off.
Allowing an option to accept an upfront penalty ensures that a strict action is taken to deter bad behaviour but the habit building is not deterred.
