Hey, colleagues.

I’m curious to see if anyone has observed a shift in the Priority Hour grid that seems to precede the actual ratings update.

I’ve noticed that certain hours for next week, which were fully available as of this morning, are suddenly no longer visible or selectable immediately after a really bad class with a totally rude and difficult student.

We all know that Cambly tends to keep their protocols opaque, but has anyone noticed that their PH access is tied to some kind of a real time internal score rather than the visible weekly number? If you've seen gaps appear on a Saturday or Sunday, did it inevitably lead to a visible rating drop on Wednesday, or is this just a matter of the hours becoming overcrowded with tutors?

I’m trying to determine if I’m looking at a secret shift in the algorithm or just a suddenly busy upcoming week. Any info from you guys would be appreciated.

I (40F) am looking for some perspective on a recent exchange with my mother (64F). We’ve had a very difficult, constantly neglectful and often abusive relationship for my entire life, and I’ve been trying to keep my distance to protect my peace and my son.

After about a month of not talking at her request, She kept calling my phone, so I tried to reach out in a low-pressure way and she wanted to schedule a phone call with me but I didn't want to because she has canceled our last three scheduled talks without any reason. She specifically promised me that she wouldn’t cancel this time so I agreed and scheduled a time to speak with her for next Thursday, which is now today.

Of course, she broke that promise in less than 24 hours and canceled again, and accused me of having said something bad about her to someone else, and she heard about it, but I haven't spoken to anyone else about her in like three years now. I literally cannot imagine what she might have heard. Maybe she just made it up. She told me to leave her alone. So then she blamed me, and I tried to point out how unreasonable she was being, but she asked me why I was still texting her. So I stopped texting her and this morning she sent this text about how I hurt her but she forgives me.

And I am like, What in the world is going on here?

Any insights or advice are welcome. Is No Contact the only way to have peace with this woman because at this point I am seriously ocnsidering it, as well as changing my number.

Does PH availability thinning out BEFORE the Wednesday update indicate an upcoming rating drop?
