Updates for the May 2025 we are facing on Upwork

Long story short - updates that we are facing for the last couple of weeks.

  1. Projects are back. Hurray. I saw that some clients had it but mostly they were not appearing for almost 2 months
  1. Specialized profiles are still not visible/not matched with jobs
  2. Fees are changed but strangely. For some categories and seems they are going to put the 15% fee categories manually. Right now it's for all Support and Writing

  1. Project catalog got related queries and suggestions
  1. Agency owner doesn't have a button to change his exclusiveness now (bug)
  2. Many client's payments got rejected and clients are banned too.
  3. Complaints about many $1mln+ clients who post jobs but never reply

I even found the chain on Reddit about the same issue

  1. I forgot, did I write already that not you can turn on the availability badge from Agency connects? I think it's a bit elder news.

Hugs,
Tamara
