Can there be problems from unfinished contracts?

Question

Upwork

The client paid for all the milestons, but asked not to close the contract, arguing that he would give me more work on the same project. The problem is that the contract has been hanging open for 3 months.
I remember seeing somewhere that this can negatively affect Job Success. Is it so?

Answer 1

In fact, I do not see any negative impact so far. There are contracts hanging open for more than a year and without activity.

Answer 2

This is true. It is necessary to beg from time to time to close, politely explaining the problem. If he doesn’t answer or doesn’t understand point-blank, I would close it myself by sending another polite letter.

Answer 3

You don't have to close yourself. It is not known how the customer will react. I had contracts for 1.5 years hanging without movement. Nothing, jss was not affected.
