I turned my profile back to available with connects and I'm getting no traffic

Usually when I turn my profile back on I get lots of responses right away. I turned it off a couple days and turned it back on and nothing. I have a 100% rating and 24 hour response time. What is going on?

You got lucky the first time around. I never use the Available Now badge and still get invites. Pretty sure the community consensus is that badge is pretty worthless - just another revenue stream (not that it is a bad thing. If Upwork keeps losing money, goodbye platform).

I had once turned of availability and regretted it heavily, my profile use to be in page 1 or 2 of "rust" but after it was completely gone - it took months to return to normal. Never again.
