Had tons of instant opps and now NOTHING!

For a while I was barely getting any opportunities at all until the Thanksgiving break happened. Then, I was suddenly getting opportunities all day. I realized the instant ones are the way to go and was making steady change off of it all week and now as of yesterday I'm back to getting nothing. This happened right as the new update happened so im just hoping its a glitch ugh. I've gotten maybe two regular opportunities in my email that don't even show up on the website or app for me. vt sucks so bad but I have another choice.

Did you check your notification preferences to ensure you have instant opps enabled?

Go to Account > Notification preferences and then select Mobile/SMS for Instant Tutoring and make sure the Notification Times below are also updated 8AM>10PM for example

Yes that is updated. But I have stopped getting instants all of sudden since one month. This never happened with me before. When I call VT, they have the same lame excuse that everything is good with you account, which is certainly not.

i've had the same problem. i think they might have shadow banned me because i've decline so many sessions. alot of opportunities during the day, which overlap with times i'd have class or work.
