I've got 33 right now, that's the most I've ever had. I guess it depends on the requesters, its still the weekend here so I don't expect many people will be up in the wee hours of the morning to accept my HITs until the morning. though those 37 HITS account for $54.48, so all in all, not bad.
Yikes, that's like sitting on a mine. If I didn't know the requester very well ( very well meaning I have been in constant communication with him) I wouldn't keep so much pending. The max I had was Chris-Callison Burch's. 230 pending. I had my heart in my mouth till the very last of it got approved.
about 2000 of those are from a familiar requester the other 1000 or so are from a good requester with good ratings so im not worried.
... Pending 4881 Yay almost 1000 approved so far.. Rating went from 99.2 to 99.3% ! yay! almost back to my 99.5%
