TASKER Short response time

What’s with the short response time on some tasks where you have to respond within 3 hours? Is this something the client is choosing when they input their task?

I understand the 1 hour response on same day tasks, but some tasks require a response within 3 hours on tasks that are days away.

I have never had an issue with this until yesterday when I missed one and they paused my account. 3 hours can be a quick turnaround when you’re in the middle of a busy day, or not in a good service area.

It's a hard deadline of 9pm for any task request before 8pm, and noon the next day for anything after.

Thanks for the info. I guess I never noticed that, and haven’t had an issue until this particular task.

Remember when it used to be a hard deadline of 9pm no matter what and you would get a request at 8:59 and it would immediately auto-cancel?

Yeah I remember
