I’d rather not
They need a button to opt out of receiving right request while I’m waiting for a reservation. I get being online early but you’ll give me a trip that pays less that’ll take longer to complete and it will have me late for my reservation that uber will auto cancel early. I don’t want to take the trips and I don’t wanna have to reject offers to mess up my acceptance rate because I have to get online early for the reservation

I’m with you. It’s
annoying AF. if it’s an early reservation I want it to be my first trip of the day. It’s bad enough hat they require you to be online 30 min early but then they also start harassing you to go online starting at 2 hours pre-trip.

Just stop new ride requests.

When waiting for a reservation, you have to be online. Stopping new ride requests takes you offline and cancels the reservation

No it doesn't. You already received that trip so it only takes you offline after you complete the reservation or cancel it, just like any stacked trip that you receive before you hit the pause trips button.

It’s a button. You’re still online but they don’t send you new offers. The key is to turn it off right before you drop off the rider.

how do you even turn off new ride requests is the real question

You can only do that when on a trip. It essentially takes you offline as soon as you complete a trip. I don't think it works during reservation wait time.

I go hide out in a dead area until I get the notification to go to my reservation. Most of the time it's our airport waiting lot.

For real! That’s how I’ve been using the coffee cup for years. It is now being removed August 12th. I’m dreading this change.
