It seems to me that the duration of a stay is not only and strictly defined by the budget, but it is often a variable that we adjust based on other equally important elements for a successful experience.
School holidays or imposed leave by the employer greatly limit the choice for a family, for example, even with a good budget.
We cannot always go for two weeks if we only have one week free, even if it is more economical in low season.
My cousin, for example, had to reduce her trip by a week to a few days because of daycare closing dates, the budget was not the problem.

Without wanting to escalate, it seems to me that the duration of a stay is not solely determined by budget constraints, even in low season.
In France, the length of holidays is often defined by the employer, such as two weeks in August, which greatly influences the decision.
Perhaps we prefer shorter but more varied experiences, without cost being the only motivation.
For example, a couple with school-aged children does not always have the choice of the departure period or the duration, despite the prices.
It is therefore good to consider that other practical factors come into play, beyond the budget.

Without wanting to provoke controversy, it seems to me that the duration of stay is much more than a simple factor, even in low season.
Each additional day incurs daily costs such as meals, activities, or local transportation, which accumulate.
These costs, even if lower in low season, can quickly raise the total travel budget.
For example, for a family, reducing hotel nights from seven to three may be the only way to make the trip affordable, regardless of the flight price.
Flexibility of dates is useful, but the duration is often the budget constraint.

My probability regarding low seasons offering better prices remains unchanged, but you still need to check the closing dates of EuroDisney park. Sometimes, "low season" just means everything is closed, so you don't really save.
