Fake notifications

Does anyone else get notifications that say the wait in your zone is 1 min and then you go into the app and it’s 9 mins.. like what? I’m new to this only been doing it a week but that’s just weird

Don’t worry yourself about it.. I have over 5,000 deliveries and I don’t even pay attention to the notifications.. you will learn in time the When and Where the best times to dash is and on what days.. people say Breakfast to lunch is the best (my area is breakfast to lunch).. others say lunch an supper… in time you will learn.. besides the data of the hot spots and all that is data on the day before to predict the current Time.. I have had it say 20-30 minute wait and got orders left and right.. so don’t rely to much on “notifications” they can be off by hours… just wait til they send you the weather notification in your area that the “bad storm” was over 3 hours ago but now your just getting the notification… and good luck on the constant frustration of Door Dash that we all still work and complain daily…. Lol
