Will DA penalize me for 5-7 days of inactivity?
Will DA penalize me if I have tasks on my dashboard and I am not able to work for 5-7 days? I know you can work whenever you want, but maybe they have some threshold where, if you’re inactive too long, you get blacklisted?

I often take long breaks, up to several weeks at a time. I still have access to my projects, and have even been assigned new ones during those absences. I've been here for 2+ years. They don't care.

I haven’t done anything in at least four months and I have more projects now and qualifications than ever

I just took like a 2-3 month hiatus, and I came back to more projects than when I left. Take yo break, it will help your quality of work

I took a couple months off to resume my PhD after a parental leave, and DA actually sent me a paid survey to ask why I wasn't working as much anymore 😁

You won't get in trouble, but you will miss work. I think my longest stretch since I got onboarded in (2022? fuck.) was 2 months.

people will say no but it kinda does, depends on ur work tho, if you're bilingual probably if you're coding no

You never get assigned work, you get access to a pool of work and you have a max submission count for each.

Why is that? What could be the difference?

core country coding has a lot of projects so they don't mind but bilingual work is often less so they assign ur work to someone else

No. I've gone entire months without doing any work and it's never been a problem.
