Client Blocked Me

Hello everyone,

I have been on Upwork as a part-time job while finishing my degree since 2021. I have 10K+ earnings and Top Rated status. I never had any major issues with a client before and always got amazing feedback.

Yesterday something weird happened, one of the clients that I have been working with several weeks suddenly closed the contract and blocked me. I was giving him updates every week and he always was really happy with them. In my feedback, I explained all these that he got unresponsive recently, then said everything is great, then hour later he closed contract, left a feedback, and blocked me. And because I wasn’t happy with communication and cooperation I gave him 2.5 rating. After I gave my feedback, I realized he gave me 5-stars. So I am quite confused now and I am wondering two things:

  1. Was I too harsh to give 2.5? When he blocked me I thought he gave me really bad rating so I had to explain my side of the story on the feedback.

  2. Never been blocked before, do you think this will affect any statistics regarding my profile like visibility?

Thank you and best of luck!
