Option 1 (best): Try to settle with the client, but obviously if not responding, this will not work out.
Option 2: Launch a dispute. Your chances of getting anything are bad because of the payment protection rule.
Option 3: Just move on. Don't look back, look forward.
But anyway, look at the bright side: You now know how it works.

There is no such option. Launch a dispute against whom? How?

Now $600 have been refunded to the client and I don't know what to do as the client is also not responding. Please help
Actually, $600 has not been refunded to the client. The client never paid the $600 in the first place. The "refund" is simply a reversal of funds that were neve there in the first place.

I did not know it isn't protected by upwork hourly payment protection.
So the pop up window that appears every time you enter manual time, telling you that it is not protected, didn't help?
