Temporary leave for a month

[tareki]

Hi there,

I'm going to stay away from my home for a month. Hence, I'll leave my account all that period without submitting proposals and getting a new job. So how to prevent my account from being suspended? And what should I do before leaving?

Set yourself as Not Available and set up the Out-of-Office Responder in the messages.

Tarek, just change your profile availability so that it says you're unavailable until the day you come back. You will not be suspended but your profile will be set to private so when you return, you can request that your proposal be set to public.

Here's an article about setting Availability: https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/articles/211063008-Set-Your-Availability
And here's an article about profile set private, which has a button to click that will set it back to private, I believe:
