Anyone else noticing more scrutiny on delivery times?

Lately, it feels like the focus has shifted. Used to be about getting as many deliveries done as possible, but now there's a lot more emphasis on hitting those specific delivery windows. I've seen a few more 'performance alerts' pop up in the app lately, even when I thought I was moving pretty fast. Are they tweaking the algorithms or something? Seems like they're really trying to squeeze out every minute. Makes me wonder if this is a precursor to something, like they're building a case for 'underperformers'. Just feels different, more pressure.

Yeah, I've definitely felt that shift too. It's like the app is micromanaging us more than before. Even when traffic is bad or I have to wait at a restaurant, the timer keeps ticking down and I get that little red warning. It feels like they expect us to be able to control things outside of our control, which is frustrating. I'm wondering if they're starting to crack down on dashers who might be taking slightly longer routes or making unnecessary stops, even if it's just to grab a coffee for themselves during a lull. It definitely makes me a bit more stressed during my shifts, trying to beat the clock constantly.
