I was guilty of this myself in the first longfic I ever wrote (which SUCKS), and it's such an easily solvable problem too. If you can't think of an easy solution to a problem, then it's not this cliche. If you can? Don't write it. Hell, even Ace Attorney is guilty of this in the fifth game as a major plot point. Granted, it makes more sense there, as the plot device was reliable in AJ and the character just went through major trauma, but he should know it only reacts to stress and not lying.
Seconding a trope I see in AA; sidelining characters and replacing their role with someone else. Trucy and Athena come to mind.

Oh man, the second bit. Happens just about everywhere, and sometimes, in opposite contrasts (see Minions above). Sidelining genuinely interesting but already underdeveloped characters... to make way for annoying bastards for 90% of the script.

Centauri Central News: Comet SX389 is expected to make a pass near the binary system on Tuesday. Officials recommend tourists stay out of the immediate area & recommend checking the FASA website for safe viewing coordinates.

(It would be a much shorter story if she would listen, but that doesn't mean it's not cliché).

The prophecy turns out to already be fulfilled by someone else, that there's really no day to save, and that it's all going to be alright anyways.
or......
The chosen one outright goes mad due to the immense amount of pressure put on by basically everyone else, believing it to be false, tries to ensure that nobody hears that prophecy again, and attempts to get rid of his/her mark on society, only for said prophecy to turn out to be true.

But NOOOOOOOO, it HAS to be the unassuming main character orphan who doesn't know much about/has been fed false stories of their past, which happens to be mysterious, and they're heckin' powerful and of course don't need FULL training to take on the BIG BAD. Because their training is always interrupted by quests/dark stuff/Dolores Freaking Umbridge. So education is irrelevant because of their natural abilities that don't need to be honed, I suppose, even if the protagonist just found out about them in Chapter 2. Also! It is revealed that this strange, lonely outcast, while "average," has had weird things happen to them all their lives as a result of their status as the CHOSEN ONE.

Symptoms that your narrative is a casualty of Grimdark include:
- A washed-out, dark colour palette of dirty greys and blacks
- Gruff heroes with no moral compass
- Killing off characters every five minutes.
- Drowning the audience in so much depressing schlock that they don't care anymore.
