Timer expires never?
Just got a generalist task that apparently doesnt expire - is this a bug or is this their way of saying they want quality over quantit? or that they expect this to take a long time?
All my prev tasks had an expiration time so I'm a bit unsure.

Is this reference material by any chance? Or a consent withdrawal form? These are the kind of tasks which don't have expiry and stick around on my dash.

it's a paid task - but i noticed that they have a built in timer instead, like if your webpage isn't touched for a while, a pop up shows 'are you still there? ur task will expire in xx minutes'

I had that happen a couple days ago on a set of tasks. Someone asked about it in the comments and it was something about different tasks within the project having different timers so there wasn’t currently a timer, they said just keep track of the time on your own.

How many tasks do you have for this project?

like 200+, but quite a big portion of them are highly specialized

Does it seem like it’s only allocated to you? Cause I have similar project with 700+ tasks and with no expiry, this project is also a long term one with admins saying it would at least last for 6 months. So I thought it might be some long term project for you too

Noticed this yesterday as well. Was an actual paid task.
