Invite only

So I have sent a proposal for a public job posting on August 3 2023. Then on August 4 2023 the job post turns into "Invite only" and 1 is already hired. Is this some kind of glitch on upwork feed? I felt like I've wasted my 16 connects for a job that turned into invite only.

No. It is editable. Client posted public job, got lot of spam, edited it to invite-only.

Can you elaborate how this become a "got a lot of Spam" on client perspective?

Spam applications with templates from bots. Or sometning like "I need this job, hire me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". Client readed an 50 such messages, deleted it then edited job.

isn't that just  normal ? it's obvious that when you post a job expect that a lot of freelancer will send their proposal, that's why there's a "personalized cover letter" to filter out the proposals.
