Try a bit of heat from a hot air gun on just the outer bigger end and get 2 people to twist in opposite directions , once apart clean and spray with silicone lube this will help it happening again .

With another person you twist 1 pole one way while the other person twists the other in the opposite direction,you can spray WD40 or dry lube between the sections where they are stuck some might work it’s way between them.

You could always knock gutter clearing on the head I’m not a fan of it I sub it out and get paid for not having to get covered in mud lugging that bin around,I’m still waiting to see an attachment that cleans well and doesn’t keep getting stuck full of debris and actually fits in a gutter lol.

I find heat on the outside and roll a piece of ice inside the inner tube helps a lot as it shrinks the inner tube while the heat expands the outer.

If anyone has enough good window cleaning work they wouldn’t do gutters imo it’s a messy horrible job.

No I wouldn’t I don’t need to do gutter jobs if I do happen to do any it’s only for existing customers and I do them on a horrible day hence it’s a muddy job,hardly ever done a job when you don’t need to get up to do something by hand.
I’ve looked at some that are on the market now and I must admit they do look easier to use,the one I have the hose just slides on the base pole which when it twists comes off and it’s a pain.
