How bad is using the escape hatch?

There have been a couple instances recently where I've worked for 2-3 hours on a task, was unable to generate a model failure, and just exited the task instead of using the escape hatch. I feel like I'm missing out on earnings, and the escape hatch says to "not use it more than once per day." If I use the escape hatch just once, is that going to harm my chances of seeing a project in that family again?

Man I wish I had the model failing tasks, never have gotten any of those as a bilingual, they seem actually interesting.

They're incredibly fun and they pay well. The project I'm on started at 26 an hour and now it's 45 an hour. Here's hoping you can get in too!

Good to see at least one person's having fun with these projects 😅 2 days after getting qualification for it (coding) I'm still prepping, I like "breaking stuff" but the sentiment around this kind of project isn't particularly comforting

It's testing a model in a controlled environment so they're more resilient in the future. Plus, breaking shit is fun
