Personally, as a contractor, I would say that it very much depends upon the stage that the project is at. If offered a short break at short notice, I'd say that it depends what my work stack is like and how deadlines are. If I've got 7 days of work to do and we go live in 8 days then I'm not going on the short break because I'd rather build a relationship.
With me as the project manager and you as the contractor, if you've advised that you're unavailable at short notice, I'd discuss substitution at a reduced rate with someone competent enough to do the three days. If you're telling me on the Monday that you won't be available from Weds-Fri, you're not getting an extension because it's unreasonable and put my project at risk. I'll also make sure you never get contract work with me again.
