Hello all,
I had the top rated badge just yesterday. Today, it's gone. I don't know what went wrong. I still have a 100% JSS, good earnings and multiple clients that I am actively working with. I did make some changes to my profile recently though - could that be it? If so, how can I fix it?
Also, just realized that when I click on my profile it says 'freelancer profile not found'. I have the refresh multiple times before my profile finally loads.

I just received notification yesterday that "Your status is no longer Top Rated Plus." My JSS dropped to 83%. I just completed a contract. I billed over $100k over the past 12 months. And my customer feedback is 5 stars. Now I don't even qualify to submit proposals for a lot of the postings. Seems to me that Upwork is just a broken platform.

Crickets? I sure don't understand why Upwork publishes no email support address and the chat is just a bot. Super useless. Moderator Annie Jane B - If this is the way Upwork functions, that after billing $100k+ in the past 12 months, 5 start ratings all around, my JSS drops to 83% and my badges are removed then I think I should just take my business elsewhere. It was already bad with the across the board increase to 10% in fees regardless of the size of contract but this experience is just terrible. My profile is likely now too damaged to get more work.

Hi Mark,
I’m sorry to hear about your score drop which resulted in the removal of your Top Rated badge, but we're afraid that we won't be able to comment on an individual score or how specific contracts affect it. Factors such as private and public feedback, the dollar weight of the projects you've completed, and the long-term relationships with your clients can have an impact on your overall score. You may want to check this article to learn more.

I'm not looking for public comment, I'm looking for support since there is practically NO WAY to directly reach support on Upwork other than going through these forums.
Like I mentioned, my customer feedback (that I can see) is 5 stars. I don't see how feedback I can't see would not also impact that star rating.

Hello everyone!
For some reason my Top Rated badge dissappeared. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks!

Thanks Nikola,
The thing is, that nothing is changed in my profile, Top Rated eligible weeks are 16 of 16, success score is 100%. I don't understand what was the issue. And almost a week passed since I wrote here about my case. But there is still no badge

I have 93% JSS. The profile is 100% completed. There's no change in the top-rated eligible weeks for a month. Earnings are in the required range. What's happening here?

Hi UpWork,
I had the top-rated badge just yesterday. Today, it's gone. I don't know what went wrong. Similarly, I had 100% JSS which dropped to 85%. I don't know what just happened to my profile. Help me to get back my top rated badge and JSS.

Hi Haseeb,
Part of the criteria for the Top Rated status is maintaining a JSS of 90% or higher. Since your score dropped below it, the badge has been removed.
I'm sorry about the change in your score but I'm afraid we won't be able to comment on an individual score or how specific contracts affect it. Your JSS can change because:
