    Thank you - I wasn't aware of that before. It's showing as 5 minutes so if the researcher doesn't reply I'll go via prolific.

    That £15 AI study from Prolific still hasn't been approved. Nearly all my studies are the regular AI ones. I'm not used to having stuff sitting in pending.

     Mine was approved middle of last week.  Although I only got £11.25 for mine!

    Has anyone had any more work from it yet?

    Why did you only get £11.25? Did it say £15?

    I think I expected to be paid more as well then it seemed to change the rate but I have no screenshots to prove that. It says expected reward rate £15 an hour then it says average reward £10.80 an hour so I'm not sure how it got changed?
    I have been paid the £11.25 but  it was the only one that took a few days to go through. I wouldn't worry too much - I had one AI one that got to the automatic payout date, before it went through.

    Mine is the one that is from the Prolific Team and it says £15 pending but maybe they paid $15? It's odd but I have plenty of the regular AI work so I'm not worried about waiting for the payment. It's just irritating to see it sitting there. 
  • When I did it it was £15 an hour but a payment of £11.25 as the expected completion time was only 45 minutes.  It was taking people up to 1.5 hours though, so I wonder if they changed it to expected completion time of an hour after I did it (which will be annoying if I don't pass as I rushed it to finish in the 45 minutes).
  • I think it took me an hour and 15 minutes. It was not an easy one.
  • Prolific have posted a year in review type thing for everyone on the site. Lots of people showing off their earnings over on the Reddit sub.
