    I have CR#2 somehow and haven't answered a TP extra question, know everything about their platform intimately, and am reasonably sure in the surveys I submit I didn't scam them so don't take it too hard it's unlikely to be a perfect system.

    Let's say you're going to bed at midnight (12) and plan on waking up at 8AM ready to work.

    You set QBC's sleep timer for 8 hours and it'll look at all the HITs that post from midnight=>8AM like it nornally does but only accept the ones that have a long enough timer for you to actually complete/submit them after you sit back down at 8AM.

    So if at 5AM a HIT w/ a 2 hour timer posts, QBC isn't going to accept it.
    If at 5AM a hit w/ a 5 hour timer posts and QBC estimates it'll only take you 10min to complete it it'll accept it that way when you get up at 8AM you already have work available instead of having to wait.

    I use it, so maybe my example will help
    I work in the AM, so when I get up I turn on QBC and put it to 'sleep' from right then till about 11am, when I know I'll be home and ready to work on HITs.
    While I'm away, QBC will run and only accept HITs that meet my criteria and that it knows have enough time on the timer so that when I get back I can complete it before it expires.

    @Katlady All of the above :emoji_sweat_smile:

    I mostly use it to work on other stuff. If I have a 60 minute HIT, I don't want stray HITs with short timers coming in and expiring. I will put QBC to sleep for an hour or two just so I can focus on that one HIT.

    Yeah, I have the bad habit of suddenly changing my mind mid-stream cuz I'm wishy washy and I'm always hoping they don't think I'm just randomly clicking. I'm just really indecisive sometimes.

    Ohhh... That is very cool. I just would stop QBC from running in those cases. Is is much different?

    Yep, agreed on that. Not just on that topic, but I have a true change of mind (not in the same survey), but on some topics over weeks' and months' time.

    The only reason that occurred to me as a possible problem is because I'd read another worker mentioning that their questions got stuck as well, and someone else instructed them to contact Turkprime so they can fix that. I thought, "Turkprime?!?" No clue prior to that.

    If you put it in sleep mode it will keep working, but respect the window of time you are "asleep." If you turn QBC off, you may miss something with a long HIT timer that you could work after you are no longer "asleep."

    One thing to keep in mind is you will need to look at your Requester Watchers if you have not specified any of those to respect sleep mode.
