Asking developer estimates Raw coding or Fully done?

Pm here, I know estimates are a fairy tale, but I'm wondering

Should I ask developers to estimate Raw coding time so then I can do simple math like add focus factor + buffers

Or ask them to estimate fully done, after deployment and qa? I'm worried that this question is too loaded and that their accuracy would be more precise if they only estimated raw code.

Estimated was 4-5 hours and max 8 hours and if anything he would let me know if there are difficulties.

Now he sends me astronomical bill because he works per hour and it took 2 guys 10 hours.

Is it even possible for professionals to do it in 10 hours?? Can I use “they didn’t call me to warn me” as a possibility to lower the price because it is cosmic
