Top-Rated Eligible weeks not increasing

Hello, there.

 

Yes, I'd like to know why my weeks for qualification for top-rated status haven't been increasing, despite meeting the qualifications

 

Yes, I was on my 15th week of the 16 weeks to qualify for the top-rated badge :japanese_symbol_for_beginner: on Upwork before I miss out on the qualification. The qualification weeks have been dropping back for the weeks I wasn't qualified till it got to the 6th week of the qualification weeks. 

 

After working on some jobs and getting nice ratings, I got back to 93% JSS and since then I've been maintaining the 93%.

It's now over 7 weeks having over 90% JSS and meeting all of the criteria but the weeks seem not to be increasing.🤔

 

Please, I'd like to know why this is happening.

 

Thanks in anticipation for your kind response.

 

Regards,

Joy

Hi Joy,

 

To earn Top Rated status, you need to maintain Rising Talent status or a Job Success Score (JSS) of at least 90% for at least 13 of the last 16 weeks. The Top Rated Eligible Weeks metric keeps track of that progress looking at the last 16 weeks as a rolling window. 

 

This means that, if you've accumulated a block of non-eligible weeks in the past, you'll need to wait for those weeks to fall out of the calculation. When your count doesn't change, it is generally because an eligible week is falling out of the calculation while another is being included. Once non-eligible weeks start falling out of the calculation you'll see an increase in the count. Check out this help article to find a helpful chart explaining this process.

Hi Support team,

 

My Top Rated Eligible week is not increasing. please increase the top rated eligible week so i will get and earned again Top rated badge. because i have badge on my profile in past . please solve this problem ASAP. Thank You

Hi Naseem,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. In order for the number of eligible weeks to increase, your non-eligible weeks will need to be "pushed out" of the past 16-weeks. Once this happens, the number of eligible weeks will start increasing, provided you meet the requirements. If an eligible week falls off of the calculation each week, the total number of eligible weeks won't increase. You can find more information here.

Hello, I was wondering if you could help me out with something. I'm wondering why I'm not being eligible for Rising Talent or why my weeks for Top Rated are not increasing? I've met all the qualifications yet I'm still at 0/16 weeks.  I started my first job Sept. 8th 2022 and have completed 50 jobs with 15 different clients and $3k earnings and a JSS of 100%. Thanks for looking into this for me.

Am yet to complete any project RISING TALENT but my stats was Top Rated eligible weeks

14 of 16  
I am also confused.

Thanks for the reply. Then what tasks are needed to be done about becoming Rising Talent? Again, I have 100% JSS, $3k+ earnings, and almost 50 contracts with 15 different clients and have been on the site over 90 days.

I had a dispute but (It's misunderstood even the client send me a bonus) the client left good feedback same as I but I want to ask if this feedback will not be appearing? what if I want to take get this feedback? 

Also in my stats I think I'll get when I reach 13 of 16 and after that the badge will be fixed and not removed anymore even if my JSS drop below 90%?

  • Up-to-date availability (if unavailable now, set a date estimate)
  • An account in good standing with no recent account holds

First of all I'm pretty aware of what you said and this's not my question!

 

I said after I get my Top-rated badge could be removed if my JSS drop under 90%?

Hello, I'm keeping a watch on my top-rated eligible weeks, but they're not updating, despite the fact that I meet all of the criteria. Do we need to enable the availability badge and spend connects for it to begin updating?

Hi,
My eligible weeks is decreasing from 9 0f 16 to 5 of 16.
I want to know what is the issue/reason?

Hi Farman,

 

Thank you for your message. Eligible weeks are the ones where you had Rising Talent status or a Job Success Score at 90% or above. Every Saturday we remove the week 17 weeks ago from the calculation and add the most recent week. In order for the count to increase, you must be eligible this week, but not have been eligible 17 weeks ago. Because of the past 16 weeks, you still have the same total number of eligible ones as last time we checked. Check out this help page for more information.

 

Thank you,

Pradeep

Hi Upwork Team,
Hope you're doing well. My eligible weeks was 9 of 16 but it is going to decrease on weekly and my current eligible weeks is 5 of 16.


So I want to know that what is the reason?

 

Hi Farman,

 

Please note that in order for the eligible weeks to increase, you would have to meet the eligibility requirements each new week while non-eligible weeks fall off the calculation. Please check the 'Calculating Top Rated Eligible Weeks' section of this help article for more information.

This confuses a lot of people, because new eligible weeks don't necessarily add to the total, since it's a rolling 16 weeks. 

 

Imagine your 16 weeks looked like this: 

 

E E E E E E E E N N N E N N N N 

So, you have 9 Es out of 16.

 

After two weeks, your two oldest weeks disappear. So, you have

E E E E E E N N N E N N N N plus whatever your two new weeks are.

If you're eligible, you get two new Es at the end and your total is exactly what it was to start--you got two new Es and lost two.

If you're not eligible, you lost two Es and gained two Ns, meaning that you're down to 7 out of 16 eligible weeks.

Hello Annie thank you for your reply let me wait ..Regards

Hi Annie Jane B, 

I think I have the same problem, but my JSS is 100% for months and I don't see any changes in Top Rated Eligible Weeks. Could you please look at my account and say what's the problem?
 
I have been actively working on Upwork for 4 months with JSS 100% and still don't get Top Rated Badge.

Thank you in advance.
