Ask How do freelancers decide when to stop working with a particular client?

[Edward22]

Sometimes a project starts well but later becomes stressful or hard to manage, and it can slowly drain your energy. In freelancing, you are the one in charge, so there is no boss telling you when to step away. But leaving a client can also mean losing steady income, which makes the decision harder. There are also cases where the client is not clear or delays payment. At what point do you say enough is enough and move on?
