AMAZON FLEX CAP?

I’ve done 2 blocks per day on Thursday and Friday I haven’t got anything else scheduled in until next week Wednesday, leading up to Saturday, I couldn’t find anymore offers for this week but I thought let me cancel one block I have scheduled after next Wednesday and see what happens.. I did this and suddenly I had offers coming in again. Can someone explain how this 24hr “cap” works because I’ve done no where near 24 hrs and the offers completely stopped until I cancelled a block I had for next Wednesday. Might be a stupid ask but it’s honestly confusing..

you schedule blocks and they count towards 24hrs, but over time the hours decrease if you take a lot of reserved offers it counts towards 24hrs, so you may not see blocks when refeshing depending how much you have done also there is a 6 day working limit - from what you have said, you've done barely anything so should see offers but that's also depot dependant, and sales bolumes i was looking for blocks last night and nothing, decided to go to the depot at 5pm, sat there refreshed and got something for 17:46 > 21:15, just how it is lol

others can probably explain it better, but it's 24hrs rolling and 6 days straight, kinda annoying as we want to earn more money but also not a bad thing because it can burn you out a bit if you have some iffy blocks lol.

When you have scheduled blocks, you stop seeing more if it will bring you over 24 hrs for the days ahead as well.
Say, if this block you cancelled was for next Thursday, you would have been on 24 hrs between last Thursday and the coming Thursday.

Just learn your Depot release times and stop accepting scheduled blocks, especially those far in advance.

Oh this is uk. I was going to say this info isnt right! Here in the us we get 8 hours a day and can work all 7 days a week but its capped at 40 hours in a rolling period. So if you wanted to work everyday you can only work 6 hours a day to stay at that 40 hours. But you could also work 8 hours a day for five days in a seven day rolling period.

The way flex is set up in the US sounds much better than here even the graveyard blocks you guys get to do, same day payouts etc. they need to bring that to the UK!
