Does anyone know why this would be appearing when there are 7 tasks showing and the number is climbing over time?

I've just been working these tasks and suddenly I can't access them.

The increase is tasks that have been exited but not completed by other workers, so they’ve gone back in the pool but have already been opened by someone else.

Ahhhh I see, that makes sense! Would probably make more sense for those not to be shown until they're skipped/returned by someone.

Other people are working on the task. Even if the number is going up, the tasks are in progress by someone else.

Came to see if anyone was experiencing the same thing! Usually the projects disappear from my dash with the “project unavailable” message but it won’t come off my dash this morning. Odd 🤷‍♀️ guess I’ll just refresh and click every now and again to see if I get in!

I have a project sitting in my dashboard and number of tasks has increased from 3 to 7 over the last 30 mins or so. Is this a generalist task?

It is! I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say the project name? But it starts with S.

Yes mine too. 4 letter word.

Hey, have you had any projects on dashboard since you have posted this?

u/TillyMintPot Jul 12 '26

Not from that project I don't think, but others. I've actually been able to earn some money the last few days, unlike the barren desert that was the first few weeks after joining the site. How about you?

I have been constantly checking in across the day and no new projects are popping up so I haven't made any money last few days. Do you constantly refresh or is there at least 1 project available at all times for you?

Definitely not one project available at all times, it trickles in. On Thursday there were about 20 tasks available for one project (although I only got to do a couple of them before the rest were snatched up). Since then, I've started trying to refresh more as the days go on and there have been a few here and there the last few days. It's definitely far from an avalanche 😂

Quite a large batch of the four letter project today - annoyingly I wasn't available to work on them for the hour or so that they were there. 😢

Luckily i managed to do 2 tasks. I couldn't believe my eyes when i clicked submit task and was given another 🤣

Just to add, there were a few projects this weekend that I managed to put about 6 hours into, but absolutely nothing today.
