tediousness
Quality of boring
Tediousness is the quality of being tedious—boring, monotonous, or wearisome through excessive length or dullness.
It describes the draining nature of tasks or experiences that seem to go on forever without reward: the tediousness of data entry, the sheer tediousness of the commute.
The word emphasizes how something wears on you rather than simply failing to interest.
