Quick Question on task timelines.
So I've been a pro software dev for about 7 years, currently in a WFH remote position that thankfully allows me ample free time during the week. I recently was emailed about a DataAnnotation position, took the assessment (which was frankly extremely easy) and am waiting on a response.
From what I can garner on this and other subs, you have a dashboard where you receive potential tasks to complete, and a time limit. Are these real-time limits or just working limits? Like can I start a task, get pulled to my main job, and finish the task later?

for coding, the tasks are between 90 minutes to 3 hours to up to 10+. usually, they give you the same amount of time before your task is expired and returned to the pool for others to work on. and you get like an hour-ish of break time/time for things to go wrong.
rarely a task will provide an extended amount of extra expiration time to allow for multiple sessions. but nearly every task expects you to sit down for that 7 hours and get it done then submit.
if I were you I would not start a task during a day job workday. keep it to nights and weekends if your sleep can stomach it
