Can I or the customer close the upwork contract without negative consequences for the profile?

Question

Freelance

I took a test task with the customer and agreed that I would finish it in one day. When I started working, I realized that it would take much more time. There is no desire to finish, I will not take money from the customer. I would like to close the contract and forget.
If you close the contract yourself, then you need to choose a reason:
- Client never provided details of the job
- Job not as described
- Client no longer needed this work done
- Client failed to pay
- I was unable to meet deadlines or job requirements
will it affect, for example, "I was unable to meet deadlines or job requirements" on Job Success ?

Answer 1

Job Success takes into account contracts closed without payment (and takes them into account negatively), they will not be displayed in the profile, but JS will certainly fall.
Therefore, offer the customer another small job, let him pay at least $ 5, but close it with a good review.
