The red flag is that its during the day

still its not really recommended. I feel comfortable handling mine daily. And they do to. In the mornings they always come out for sun. They practically sprint out of their cage

Yea I’m not going to force mine to be handled (unless I kind of have to)
Baby chameleons especially Jackson's have a very strong drive to get away from their siblings and establish a territory of their own. This would assure them adequate food sources they don't have to compete for directly. This is probably what is behind your little guys desire to get out. Once he's out on what seemed like a good thing to climb he stresses out and shuts down or falls asleep due to lower light levels.
I handle my babies as little as possible.
