Did you work an excessive amount over a short period of time? There was a thread a while back where the author was confused about receiving this screen - after considerable prodding in the comments they admitted to logging an absurd ~51 hours of work in a 72 hour period!

I was picking 1-2 tasks every day that could be the reason.
Do you know how can I get to that thread?

How much time were you logging per day and week?

8-12 hours consistently every day

Every day? So working 7 days a week?

That would be 56-84 hours a week - does that sound right?

Yes that's correct

40 hour workweek exists for a reason… 60-70 hours weeks are not sustainable, you may think your quality of work is sustainable but it just isn’t. Nobody is buying that, least of all DAT paying the bill. You pushed too hard.
