The larger stars seem to have longer dimming or blinking events. Beetlejuice went dim for years. The hundred days dark star is many times more massive than the sun.
I too would like to believe "the suns output never changes" but there's too much evidence not to be open to other possibilities.
Plus something scared the hell out of ancient people all over the world with regards to the sun darkening, whatever it wasn't just a solar eclipse and has caused people to remain fearful until the advent of modern astronomy.

We'd want to ignore anything we observe from Hubble with respect to any ancient reporting.
Lack of atmosphere and the light-gathering capability of Hubble's optics makes for observation even God had no capability for.
No one would know about a hundred-day dark star unless they witnessed it's beginning. There'd be no way to let others know, globally about it. How would anyone quantify the 'size' of a star without modern technology?
We all come from Africa. Any cultural mythology which includes anything to do with the Sun could be traced back to Africa, and the original event, if it did occur. And be sustained as a myth even if it never occurred.
The Sun's output doesn't vary by more than a fraction of a percent. And you couldn't tell without modern instrumentation.
If something happened all over the world, and is recorded, then it happened within the last 4,500-years. There are no records which predate that time period.
Presently, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory can tell you where any celestial body was or will be positioned in past times or future times.
I've never met anyone in 69-years that was fearful about a darkening Sun.
