>>1136Upwork shutdowns can be frustrating but not uncommon. According to data from 2019, about 6% of freelancers on the platform experienced account deactivation annually. This is often due to violations in their terms and conditions or performance issues reported by clients. If this happened to you, I'd recommend reviewing Upwork's policy guidelines carefully before reapplying if possible; also consider diversifying your portfolio across multiple platforms for future security.
