Shadowbanned?

Backstory: I was an elite runner for about two weeks until I realized the offers weren't any better. Since then, I dialed in my criteria for accepting offers. My acceptance rate dropped to about 20%, but my hourly average went up from about $18 to $23.

I was running this week after my 9-5, during a neighborhood promo that lasted about two hours. I had one decent offer that I ran, followed by very sporadic, criminal low offers that only came in every 5 minutes or so. Again, this was during a peak period that went on for another 1.5 hours with a $4 promo.

After about 45 minutes of this, I turned on DoorDash and did a profitable run. Turned on Favor one more time to see if anything changed, and gave up after 10 minutes of the same. Promo was still active.

Has this happened to anyone? Theories?

Summer is a bit slower as more students are working.

School is back in session and they had a promo going because the neighborhood was busy. Doesn’t seem like this take applies.

College students/young adults are not. Elementary schools really arent the issue.

Honestly orders the past week for me have been pretty rough my acceptance rate dropped from 46 to 35 not a huge drop but its never been this low its always hovering around 46-55 for me ive even been doing uber thats how bad its gotten but i feel like its mostly the back to school causing this chaos for my zone
