I have not had a single study all week! I do not know what is going on - I thought I would catch more at the moment given what is going on.

Exactly the same for me - no studies. You start to get paranoid that there is something wrong with your Prolific account. I believe there is some sort of complicated algorithm that is used to balance studies out.

I did around 7 yesterday, I left the web page open on my laptop and just kept my eyes open for when one popped up on the screen

Peaks and troughs - some months I get many, others not. I think they have a way of averaging it out for everybody.

Anyone cashed out today? Normally my cashouts are instant but today it hasn't reached my Paypal account. I know the cashout email says it can be up to 5 days but normally it's there immediately.

Yes I cashed out today and it was instant.

Don’t worry, I’ve had that happen before. Prolific told me instant cash out occasionally fails, it’ll have been put in their manual cash out queue.
