You get one week to dispute, and let me tell you - Upwork staff are not quick to accept your claims. By the time my dispute was manually reviewed the payment was already passed to the freelancer and could not be reclaimed. Only the most recent week's pay was refunded, even though the evidence suggested the developer was cheating for a long period of time. I didn't catch on because he was producing good code and just used the macro to "inflate" his hours by about 30%. I caught on by pure chance when he happened to tweak his background macro tool just as the hourly screenshot was taken.
