Contract Closed Due to Inactivity Despite Constant Exchange of Messages

[Chandhini B]

Thank you everyone for raising this issue! You're absolutely right that the escrow refund request email subject line is misleading in this scenario. I've added it to our team's roadmap and we'll update the email copy to make it more clear in these cases where the escrow refund request is triggered automatically due to funds being in escrow for an extended period of time. The copy update should be live in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks for following up on this, Chandhini B.

Hi Chandhini,

Great, we've been asking for this for literally years...

While you're at it, can the email sent to freelancers whose hourly payment was reversed because of hours not being eligible for payment protection also be changed from "You gave a refund to client X" - which is causing even more confusion than this one? 

It is really difficult to explain to them that the client isn't *actually* getting a refund, but that the client never paid so there was never actually anything to "refund" - but barely a Tuesday goes by when this doesn't crop up!

Thanks for passing that along as well, Petra! I've shared it our internal team and we'll look into making the communication more clear.
