I read a book last week called The Man of Zero, and while it's not a business book, I couldn't stop reading it as one.

The idea is your worth has to be set at zero, fixed, before anyone reacts to you, and most freelancers skip this. So their rate becomes a mood. Up on a good week, down after a slow one, and they call the lower number realistic.

You weren't being realistic but repriced and you didn't feel it happen.
