February 12 in Indexing

I have been working on this project for months. All of a sudden, in the last couple of weeks, the checkout times have been reduced from 8-10 days to 4. Why the sudden decrease in time for us to complete each batch? I love the project, feel like I do a good job, but doing 100+ records that are sometimes very hard to read is not something I can do in what really amounts to only 3 days of work time for me. I've had 2 batches returned in the last two weeks because I can't get them done in exactly 96 hours. Can we get the old check-out times back? Or should I find another long-term project?

    @matthewagundersen1 I understand how frustrating it is to work on a project and have it expire before you are finished. Many times the expiration deadlines become shorter as a project nears the end. This particular project is 94% complete. Please know that your work is appreciated and that the data you indexed remains intact. The document below explains this a little more.

    Thank you so much for helping make these precious records searchable for others to find their family members. Enjoy your day.

    Here is a project akin to yours that still has 7-day checkout times. They do seem to shorten the checkout times when a project nears completion. Also, perhaps Part B for your project will appear in a few weeks and you can work on it.

    US, New York, Capital—Index to Land Records, Grantees, 1630–1975 [Part A]
