This is not fair.
The client has not responded for a month. He does not choose anyone and does not close the project. I believe that in this case, UpWork should give the freelancers the opportunity to withdraw the pruposal and return the connects.

Hi Michael,
Connects are only returned when a client closes their job without hiring or we find a job post has violated our Terms of Service. While some clients take time to hire on their jobs and often come back to review candidates weeks after they posted a job, postings with no activity for more than 30 days are automatically closed.
Withdrawal of your proposal for a project will not refund the Connects you’ve used. Please see this article for more information.
Thank you!
