Client being unreasonable to end the contract and requesting whole return after all the work is done

[omkarfrozen]

I had started a contract onn a project where his current developer was not able to play music in background mode. So the orignal task had 4-5 other features related to playing music in a app.

It was supposed to be 4-5 hours work so I accepted the offer and after completing the tasks I sent him a build to verify the items, he conviniently started adding new items in the requirement which I agreed to do, after spending 15+ hours, I asked him I will work on the new changes as well in the same budget but atleast release 70% of the amount as orignal requirment is already done.

He agreed that orignal tasks were done and later disappeared for 3-4 days, and suddenly today he requested a refund on upwork.

He gave the reasons that his developer is not happy and he wanted other features as well which were never discussed to be completed.

I really don't want to waste my time going into dispute for just $150 after already spending 30-40 hours on this app.

What would be the best to get out of this without affecting my JSS
