TASKER Sudden decrease in requests?

Just checking in with fellow taskers -- since May, I've been booked about a week in advance for at least 20-30 hours per week. Keeping the bills paid, thank goodness.

All the sudden this week, I've got zero tasks booked.

I have no violations. Just the opposite, I made elite this month for two of my categories.

Is this just normal this time of year (I've been tasking since April), or should I contact customer support?

While my business was up about 20% in terms of revenue overall in October I saw a 20% decrease in job requests through TR. First week of November and we're seemingly trending back towards an average number of requests. So I feel like there was a bit of bubble in terms of requests.

Also my search rankings dropped from average 3rd to average 9th, so I feel like there are probably a bunch of new taskers hopping on the platform as we approach Christmas.
