## TL;DR

This paper clarifies how various assumptions influence the predicted duration of inflation in loop quantum cosmology, emphasizing that the quantum regime's background dynamics have limited impact on inflation length.

## Contribution

It provides elementary clarifications on the assumptions affecting inflation duration predictions in loop quantum cosmology, highlighting the limited role of quantum background dynamics.

## Key findings

- Inflation duration is not significantly affected by quantum regime background dynamics.
- The number of e-folds in inflation is constrained by specific hypotheses.
- Clarifications help understand the robustness of inflation predictions in loop quantum cosmology.

## Abstract

The prediction of a phase of inflation whose number of e-folds is constrained is an important feature of loop quantum cosmology. This work aims at giving some elementary clarifications on the role of the different hypotheses leading to this conclusion. We show that the duration of inflation does not depend significantly on the modified background dynamics in the quantum regime.
