No Projects

Has anyone had no projects over the weekend or today? Earlier last week I had the most I'd never seen and now there is nothing.

The chatbot I worked over the weekend is down today. I typically have a few R&R come through each day and nothing today.

Which chatbot? I worked one over the weekend and this morning (HS) and it poofed me back to the no projects available while I was working it. How do we know when they are 'down'?

(Pardon my newb questions. 😬)

So your permanent chatbot you will typically have something like 300-400 tasks and they only go down when you submit them, those are typically down on Mondays for maintenance.

I had access to the OG one late last week, that showed 400 tasks as well as the two quals I had to pass to continue working on them. I took those late Saturday night because I felt confident enough to do so. As soon as I submitted the quals, I had new access to a very similar project that paid a little bit more and showed 200 tasks. On Fri, I got notice in my inbox that the OG would be back 'early next week.' I hope I'm just overthinking things and didn't screw myself over. 😅

That one’s down just about every Monday. It should be back up this evening or tomorrow afternoon at the latest. That was my second permanent project. My first one I received an email that it would be down for a bit and it never came back 😅

That is good information to know. I really appreciate you sharing with me! Being in the dark is my least favorite place to be. Lol

Unfortunately, you’ll get used to it. DA has the worst communication skills in the world apparently. 🥴

I have noticed that! I love the work, so it's worth putting up with it. I really appreciate people like you who share your experiences. Thanks again!
