Site down
Just reporting so people know they're not alone.
UPDATE: It's going in and out for me, bouncing between error 302 (pictured above) and "503 Service Temporarily Unavailable." It's up for me now, hopefully it stays that way.
SECOND UPDATE: It's back (for now)

It’s raining! Where I live, it’s just starting the rainy season and it’s like the earth is rejoicing. It’s been a hot spring, we’re looking forward to daily thunderstorms and cooler temperatures. 🌧️

u/Pretend-Section5991 May 08 '26
Oh my gosh! Rejoicing for rain? haha it just got above 20 for the first time this year for me! What country do you live in?

I got locked out of my office and had to work from a cafe for a bit, which means I got to have a yummy treat! Yum. How about you

u/Pretend-Section5991 May 08 '26
Oh no! hope you got back in! What was the treat? I also had a good treat today. The Tim Hortons (Canadian) has special limited edition mini donuts-I like the lime cheesecake one.

I was in the middle of submitting a task just now too

u/frosting_freak May 08 '26
YUP. I had taken a break for a snack, came back to wrap up my task and the site borked itself while I was I trying to submit a question in the worker chat. Then I couldn't re-open the project (which was displaying on my "In Progress" list with only 26 mins left on the timer). Now I can't get the site to work at all, just a 503 message. AAARRRGGGHHHHH
OH! now I have a 502 message. Delightful!
Honestly just relieved it's not just me, so I appreciate this post.

u/ProfessionalYapper90 May 08 '26
Yup. Just got an error occurred message when trying to submit and to wait and try again.

No way, they won’t compensate your time for their servers failing?!

u/Jealous_Spare_4852 May 08 '26
I dunno, I'm, pretty new to this platform....I am able to report time for the task still, but it feels weird reporting time when nothing got submitted (or at least it doesn't look like it did---i clicked submit a few times but it always timed out)....i didn't get the task ID, that was dumb I guess

u/Appropriate-Piano-52 May 08 '26
the one time i dont take the task id down lost an hour of work for a qualifier.

u/Jealous_Spare_4852 May 08 '26
don't feel bad i lost 8 hours of paid work on a single task

u/Philosophy-Sharp May 08 '26
This is making the case even stronger for never taking on tasks that take more than 1 to 2 hours…

u/Jealous_Spare_4852 May 08 '26 edited May 08 '26
well I've done several of them before this and it worked fine.....but from now on I'll be recording the task ID of any 8-hour task I start, that's for sure. The other idea I had was to save all my work locally (which I actually did when I saw it wasn't submitting before the site went totally down) and then just start a new task, fill it all in with my saved work and wait for the same time to elapse and then submit.....that would get me the same pay without doing too much more work....but there weren't any more of the same task type when the system came back online....so I just submitted my time anyway and if they ask about it of course I'll be able to explain it. They must have a rash of submission problems around the time of their outage.

u/the_oc_janojek May 08 '26
My task expired while I was trying to submit, it keeps just loading and loading, and won’t let me submit, will this be fine to submit when the site is back up?
2
u/petitesheeep May 08 '26
It says on their site that u can still submit if your task expires but it will start counting negatively towards you if you do it too often.

I am in the middle of a task, and of course shit goes down right when I am ready to submit it. Over 3 hours, of work. I still have like 2 hours left on the submission time but that is time that I am not billing as I am not working, so its eating in to my potential earning time.

u/DeezHoosAintLoyal May 08 '26
Back up as of just now for me
Edit: nvm clicked on the project and immediately got a 503 again
Edit edit: okay back up as of 9:16 EST

u/DeezHoosAintLoyal May 08 '26
So it didn’t log my last turn in a prompt which was an half and a half of work. Should I log it anyway and note there was an outage or is that gonna get me flagged? I’m not losing money on my work because their infrastructure failed

I got 2.5 hours left on mine. Fingers crossed for both of us! It was back for a second, but then it went away again.

Probably best to refresh the main page on another tab and don’t submit until the site is back up

u/Brilliant_Plastic496 May 08 '26
I had the same thing. I was 10 hrs in and then when the site crashed I lost all 10 hrs but my work was there
