Declined Bookings after Advance Notices should have Zero Consequences

[Merlin4]

It is unreasonable for the hosting acceptance percentage to include requests made after the advance notice window.

If say I want guests to book 2 days in advance and they request day of, I should be able to decline without consequence to my rating. Hosts have to respond  otherwise their response rating goes down

@Merlin4  If you set your calendar correctly for the desired advance notice window, the current date is automatically blocked on your calendar, and it's therefore impossible for a guest to request it. Check your settings to make sure your preference has been saved.

Additionally: declining a booking does not affect your Response Rate. It does lower your acceptance rate, but this does not have any tangible consequences.
