Hello all, It's been 2+ months, I made my Upwork account.
With passing time, I'm getting few jobs but the problem is most of my clients are not closing contracts.
I do request them all to close it so Upwork will mark it as Completed job but they don't even reply, maybe they feel it doesn't matter!
I have 1k+ earnings
14 completed jobs (+2)
but sill no JSS because my clients didn't gave me rating/feedback!
out of 14 it's showing 10 jobs are in progress because client did not close them after completion.
My account will complete 90 days in next 10 days but I won't be getting Top rated badge 😞
I think Upwork should work on this point by making it mandatory for clients to close the contract & provide feedback after releasing final milestone if Upwork is using it to reward & calculate the JSS.

Hi Tanmay,
Closing contracts on your own does not have a negative impact on your JSS. The outcome of your contracts is what determines your resulting score. You can check this help article to learn more about JSS.
