You'll need to adjust the way you turk in the immediate to go back to a more analog mode like it was before until you see what, if anything, is going to happen. No more running pandas endlessly trying to catch surveys. Slow your scraper down or turn it off entirely. Adjust your workflow to be less automated, start the war machine up in bursts and then shut it back down again.

Diversify your revenue stream... nothing like mturk should ever be your only source, that is begging for disaster to hit, especially with how uncertain the status of your account has always been with the random suspensions. Do work on more sites... get a part time job... start an etsy store... whatever.

I'm waiting for pizza to be delivered right now. I NEED this survey. Of course, I missed it and now I'm afraid to PANDA for it...

That's a false perception you've created in your mind. At the very least there are several other mturk-like sites on the internet where you can do the same sorts of work, some of them closed platforms that require actually being hired, some of them more open.

Totally agree here, but it still sucks when it happens
