@catherineelcik I think you can also change the setting in your account to change how many days the system counts as a CNR before considering open queries a rejection

@catherineelcik, for queries submitted through the query manager form, it is best to withdraw from an agent before moving to the next. Some agencies will ding you if more than one query is open at a time within their agency. You can withdraw by going to the link 'View on QueryManager' under Query Status. From there, click on Contact and Contact agent. Then you're given the option to withdraw. Best of luck. Plus, I highly recommend paying for premium. This gives you access to response times. For anyone who cares to know, Brianne is currently working through July submissions.
