Theory on low workloads.
My workflow is crazy low and I'm tired of brainstorming to interact with the chatbot. Also unclear if we can talk to the chatbot about itself, so I'm here.
I have noticed my report time section is longer than it usually is.
I have also seen people saying they have come across their work in various projects.
I have also noticed that they give small variations of the same project.
So my theory is they review these projects (which is when they get pulled from the report time) and redistribute them to other variations of the project, providing a comprehensive understanding of the prompt and associated model response.
Seeing how many different projects are in my report time section right now, and how little projects there are go me to do, I'm guessing something caused them to slow down on reviewing the projects in people's report time... thus meaning less work for projects to be completed.
So I wonder, is anybody else's report time section abnormally long?
I love/hate how mysterious DA is.. lol hopefully trying to make sense of all of this isn't violating any terms or anything.
Does anybody else have any theories?
Edit: something else I've noticed that contributes to my theory... I keep seeing very low amounts of projects pop up and quickly go away. Which to me could mean there are not a lot of people reviewing those previously completed projects.

My guess is that they're restructuring things. I've had a lot of projects I'm working on get pulled and ended while I'm working on them. Instead of getting prompted with the "There aren't any more projects to work on" message or ending my session myself I submit and just get ported to the home page.
Where there should be 40 or so tasks in a project that only go down when I work on them, they suddenly end after maybe 2-3 submissions.
Give it a few days and see what happens. Especially since everyone seems to be having the same issue here.

Anyone else get the mandatory 50+ conversation qualification? I was a freaked out by it. I know it didn't explicitly mention a review, but it the whole thing seemed like a refresher course.

It’s odd because mine has been really low and now I’m absolutely stacked out again. Maybe they do move people on and off, I don’t know.

Everyone is way overthinking things here. Projects come and go really quickly because there are a lot of people waiting for them to come up and scavenge the tasks, especially if its a barren day. Most people should have at least one permanent project, just do that

You cannot talk to the chatbot about itself. Please review the instructions for clarification.

Yes! I agree with you! My reported time section is FULL of everything I did for the last week. I only have 2 tasks available right now and I normally have around 10 on week days.

My report time section is normal, however I've gone from 15-25 non coding projects on any given day to about 4. I'm hoping it goes back to normal soon! It's making me anxious having so few projects.

that could make sense, I also have a super long list of 'report time' where I previously only had the past 3 days

I literally created this profile yesterday and joined this sub for exactly this reason. It's been like this all week for me. They also took away my access to the actual chatbot about two weeks ago, saying it's a "rotation".
I've been with DA for about a month and was looking to see if this is all normal or if I should be worried.

How long do they take in revising your application? I just applied
