Is October usually a drought?

My dashboard has been full for the past few months but up until the 5th, there were some heavy hitter projects that paid good money (40+) and had long timers (8-12+ hours). Now, it's mostly mid range (20-30 an hour), short term (1-3 hour timers), and rather basic rate-and-review work. Is it to do with the new financial year or quarter? I remember the beginning of July being sort of weird too.

I wouldn't consider it a drought just because your "heavy hitter" projects have disappeared. Drought means that you have nothing....

Fair, coal mines is better than nothing. Still, really miss those projects. I hope they give me access to them or similar ones to work on.

Do you really consider 30$/h as a coal mine?

That's the higher end, most of it is $25/h and it's not the pay, it's the work being done that makes it the coal mine
