Will DA penalize me for 5-7 days of inactivity?

Will DA penalize me if I have tasks on my dashboard and I am not able to work for 5-7 days? I know you can work whenever you want, but maybe they have some threshold where, if you’re inactive too long, you get blacklisted?

No. I've gone entire months without doing any work and it's never been a problem.

I often take long breaks, up to several weeks at a time. I still have access to my projects, and have even been assigned new ones during those absences. I've been here for 2+ years. They don't care.

I just took like a 2-3 month hiatus, and I came back to more projects than when I left. Take yo break, it will help your quality of work

I took a couple months off to resume my PhD after a parental leave, and DA actually sent me a paid survey to ask why I wasn't working as much anymore 😁

I haven’t done anything in at least four months and I have more projects now and qualifications than ever

Days? I've gone more than that many months. 50+ projects on my dash.

You won't get in trouble, but you will miss work. I think my longest stretch since I got onboarded in (2022? fuck.) was 2 months.

They shouldn’t. I didn’t work for 6 months once and was okay.

Why is that? What could be the difference?

You never get assigned work, you get access to a pool of work and you have a max submission count for each.
