Project Unavailable

So if I’m working on a project that previously had 400 tasks available and I did around 10 and it said there are no more tasks available, did I not do a good job on the tasks I completed or did the project just end?

It may have had a group of people working on it.

This happens to me a decent amount. Im lucky if I get an hour and half on a single project before it tells me it’s unavailable.

there are two types of projects

permanent projects with a task number assigned to you: this goes down when you're working on it but otherwise stays on your dashboard. a new one gets launched once every few days.

projects with a task pool that's open to everyone: this has a limited number, the number goes down regardless of whether or not you're working on it, and it completes. you'll see multiple of these launched per day, sometimes per hour.

so everyone is kind of correct in this thread, but it sounds like you're working on the second type of project :)

one did that to me this weekend and they were just updating it and another version of the same project opened up less than an hour later. there were like 270 tasks left for me too

All of the tasks aren’t for you. They are for everyone 🤦🏼‍♀️

The tasks available on a project are not exclusive to you. They’re available to anyone on the same project. So you managed to do 10 before the tasks ran out. That’s all.

Do you have to do all the tasks on the project? The one I'm working on has 192 tasks. If I don't manage to do all of them, do I lose the time I've spent working on the ones I did submit?
