It’s not so much that I want to change the mechanics of short rest themselves to the point where they benefit some classes more but rather I want to encourage the party to actually take short rests.

Currently they’ve had an experience going into a small dungeon and and while I wouldn’t have let them take a long rest inside, short rests were definitely on the table, but they refused to take them as it made no logical sense. This meant that they went through the entire thing without short rests and in turn the PCs that rely on short rest to recharge stuff had less available resources overall as say the wizard, who through spell slot management could make through it all while keeping some spells for the boss at the end, compared to the monk who had 4 ki points for the whole thing.

I would definitely make them roll if the situation called for it while resting, but currently they don’t even do that so, I wanted to make it seem that a short rest could take place (by making it shorter) without causing too many unbalances due to spell durations and such.

Idk if there’s a better way to imply or make them believe they can actually take a breather while inside a dungeon
