A month ago I was notified that my success score dipped below the level 2 threshold. I was told “

don’t worry, you have a month to get your score back up as a grace period

”. So I had a handful of orders, all 5 star, many of the customers left tips and told me they were very happy with my work, some even ticked every satisfaction box. 

In that whole month grace period however, my success score for my gigs 

. Now today I have been demoted to level one and was told “

don’t worry, you can earn your level 2 as early as tomorrow

”. How is this possible, and what good is the “grace period” if the success score takes forever to update? How often does the success score update anyways? What are your experiences? Does the success score update daily for you? I started off at a 9, slowly being whittled down despite nothing but 5 stars, lots of tips and extremely happy customers. Talk about punishing hard work.. and Fiverr is seemingly doing nothing about it? The least they could do is revert to the old system until they work the kinks out of their beta system. 

Success score.. how often does your update? Flawed system.
