Extended absence from Upwork

I am taking a long sabbatical for personal reasons and have already lost my top rated stated because of this. I would like to know:

  1. How long can my profile remain inactive before Upwork deactivates it?
  2. If Upwork deactivate my profile, would I still be able to access my job history and reviews?
  3. If I will lose access once deactivated, how can I export my job history and reviews so that I can retain a record?

I would love to continue working as an Upwork freelancer some time in the future, but have no idea when I will be able to do so. I would ideally like to continue with the record I have built up when I start working again, or at least have a record to refer customers to should I have to create a new profile from scratch.

If you don't earn money on Upwork for 30 days, they will set it to private.  It won't be deactivated.  All you have to do is change your availability to when you expect to return.  You can keep changing it:
