Just close the contract yourself. Do it now.

 

It won't hurt your JSS.

 

Upwork's new policy is clear that closing contracts yourself and not getting any feedback does NOT hurt JSS.

Hi Neelma,

 

I can understand that it is really disappointing when your client is unresponsive. Preston is right, you have the option to end the contract if the client is unresponsive. You might want to check this announcement for more information about the recent update to JSS.

Neelma, I've had the same issue many times.

My usual clients are new businesses and we plan many milestones but after the first couple of milestones the client realizes a fundamental fault in the business and quits the project in anger and disappointment.

Then the project stays in a limbo.

What I do is:
- double-check that the client doesn't respond... 2 months is long enough time
- close the contract
- mark it "completed successfully"
- put appropriate feedback for the client

My JSS always stayed at 100%. The only thing I don't get is the client's review, obviously. But it doesn't matter much as everyone can see the amount of money paid which works as a confirmation of good job done in your profile.

So if you did the work properly, just do the same, keep your head up, and keep going! 👍
