I haven't had any gig for four weeks now

First of, I do not understand the rating system on fiverr; one minute am level two and the next I have been demoted back to square one. If I delay to answer a text for a few minutes, I am in trouble. That aside, I have not received any job for the past one month. I am a freelance writer and I don't know if this is a concern for everyone else, how is it going for you guys? Are there jobs out there or should we change careers? PS: I have been on fiverr since 2019

There are metrics to maintain a certain level. A few minutes is fine, it only takes a hit only if your respond beyond an hour. Other than inflation and recessions happening around the world - I think a lot of people who offer writing services has been affected either in a good or bad way because of the rise of AI.

• On-time Delivery
  This shows the overall percentage of orders delivered on time.
• Ratings

I think most of the sellers are facing the same.
