Open up this mod with the latest version of Sims4Studio and find Statistic Tuning and Sim Data lines listed under "WHAT WAS CHANGED" in the description.
The line(s) should be on line 20 and 21 under the Statistic Tuning and on line 14 under Sim Data. Edit the number(s) to whatever you desire. The number represents how long in Sims minutes the debuff will last. This mod is currently set to 0 to have no cooldown (unless you chose another delay option; in which the instructions are still the same). The default number is 1440, which is 24 in-game hours. How ever many hours you want your cooldown to be, just multiply the amount of hours times 60.
For example: If you want a three hour cooldown you would multiply 3x60 which equals 180. So then you would change the number(s) to 180 to have a three hour cooldown on Instant Upgrade.
Please read the section in red in the description. The same may apply to the washers and dryers. I have not checked to see if this is the case yet due to real life being very busy right now. Please let me know which pack it is from and the name of said items (I've not played Sims 4 for about a year or more, so I'm not up-to-date on all the new packs yet).

Having tried MCCC without this, there is one correction I feel I need to make. MCCC's version only makes single upgrades instant. The 'instant upgrade' thing you get from the reward trait allows you to do more than one upgrade with one interaction, so I don't really feel that one makes the other obsolete at all.
Hmm. Thank you very much for the correction. I appreciate it. I'll rewrite the description when I do some updates to a few mods. Won't be for a few days, but I'll put it on the to-do list.
Umm XD. Ooh my... I don't own all DLC yet (Tiny Living). I'm not able to test this on "upgradable beds" because I don't have any of those. I'll see about purchasing DLC's this week. Once I do, I'll look into it.
However, as far as I know, with all the DLC's I own (about 80% of them), the TheKnack trait applies to everything upgradable. I don't see any of the newer DLC's (that I own) being different and they're all working with this mod so far. But again, I don't have murphy beds from Tiny Living right now, so I can't test them. I'll get it as soon as I can.
If you have a lot of mods, this could be conflicting with one. My details page shows what files are tuned.
I got the Eco Life Style and Tiny Living DLC's. So the upgradeable beds from Eco Life Style are not tagged for Instant Upgrade by EA. I guess they forgot. You can try posting to EA about those beds not being included with the Handy trait. Maybe they'll fix it one day. I can fix this myself, but I'm not going to as of right now. I did update the description to let people know that some items cannot be Instant Upgraded due to EA not tagging them for Instant Upgrade/Handy trait.
This mod is still working. I have all of my mods installed and tested this on an old save and a new save.
The Instant Upgrade action/animation itself takes about 10 seconds (regardless if you use this mod or not). With this mod you'll be able to use Instant Upgrade again right after you used it instead of having to wait for the 24 hour sim cooldown.
Are you using "Instant Upgrade" that you get from achieving the Handy trait after finishing the Nerd Brain aspiration? You won't see that option unless you have the Handy trait from the Nerd Brain aspiration. Otherwise, all other upgrades will continue to be slow and take time.
This mod does not change the normal upgrades nor shorten animations. This mod only allows you to repeatedly use "Instant Upgrade" from the Handy trait that is awarded to you when you finish the Nerd Brain aspiration.
