Is it possible to get away from a bad customer through an hourly rate?

Question

Upwork

Hello.
As far as I understand, until you receive the money, you can cancel the contract, remove the watch, and then there will be no recall.
But what exactly does "not yet received the money" mean? Are they received every day? Or every Wednesday? If the first settlement period has passed, then I can no longer make such a feint with my ears?
Can someone explain, please?

Answer 1

I explain with my fingers. You have a wallet. If it doesn't ring doubloon... then you haven't been paid).

No, just close the contract and make a refund of all the money received from it. Then the review is not shown and is not taken into account
