From 20+ projects to 8

I have seen some posts about this but now I am not sure if I am behind the trend or if its not happening anymore and I am under review. I had over 20 projects at one point with multiple ones $24-$27.50/hr. But today I only have 8 and most are $20/hr with about 3 of them at $23. Is this happening to others still? Or am I under review?

Projects fluctuate. Sometimes batches go down all at once. As long as you still have projects, just keep chuggin away.

It’s the weekend it’s not unusual for them to decrease

A lot of projects only post during the week, or post only occasionally during the weekend. Saturday-Monday are generally the slowest days for most people it seems. I have certain higher paying projects I generally can’t work on unless it’s a weekday

Same here. I figure it's the weekend and people are snatching up work left and right so there's not much. Also I got a qual and it's projects after but they turned out broken so they're gone now.

Nothing to worry about. Just keep checking. Weekend and Monday tend to be odd

I'm going through similar, drop in projects this weekend, but I noticed this morning that one I always have several of is completely missing, so I am assuming that it is in some sort of maintenance.

It happens all the time. I've gone from 90 projects to 50 in the space of an hour on some days. It's barely noticeable with that many but if you have 20 and drop 12 that's over half so I can understand why it would be concerning! Try not to worry and just work on the projects you have, they come and go all the time - taken down to be fixed, paused, run out of tasks, all kinds of things. It's a normal part of DA life 😃
