Upwork JSS dropped to 78%, how to find a job?

Question

Upwork

I worked on upwork, I didn’t touch anyone. In total, more than 4 thousand (!) Hours. About 10 projects with ratings mostly 5, there are 4.5, 4.7.
Then a long-term project (1500 hours) appeared, after which the customer for no reason delivered 4.1 without feedback. Up to this point I have been Top rated, 100% JSS and related. And either at this time, or by coincidence, I lose the top rated badge and JSS rolls to 78%.
And now, for 4 fucking months, I can’t find anything sensible on this upwork. Because almost every sentence has JSS at least 90 and, as I understand it, my applications are somewhere at the end, it’s good if they are shown at all.
So the most interesting, after that there were 3 small projects (2 fixed and 1 for a couple of hours), which I successfully completed and received 5 stars for each. And what do you think? JSS as it was 78 and remained. And now what to do? What kind of game is this?
I looked at the rating of that same client now - 3.03
Having read that some people are banned here for leaving applications, but they are not taken and then they get banned, I'm generally afraid that they will be banned. Oh shit will be.

Answer 1

TR has the ability to hide/remove feedback. Didn't use? Slowly send applications, look for some contracts. Do not work with clients with a rating below 4.9. Before submitting an application, look at customer reviews and what reviews he sends to freelancers. Unfortunately, this often happens and you just need to work on.

Answer 2

write, write, write a coverletter
With existing customers - if there are contracts - ask instead of milestones to split them into upwork tasks for which you should be chosen, and close them with normal grades,
If there are no orders - write hello, I did this and that and something, that's where you can improve the code (performance, design, layout ...) would you like an hour?
