In theory it should. However, since you are at the mercy, so to speak, of the speed of the return of the work units by other participants and the fact that the credit is awarded after processing by the transitioner and validater, if either of those goes down; well, it can be a long wait.

With the site problems of the last couple of weeks this is one of the likely scenarios. One of the reasons that I don't pay credit much mind right now. But you could write down the numbers shown in the BOINC Work Manager's projects tab and track it that way.

As an alternative you can go to one of the statistics sites that tracks all users and look at you charts there on a daily basis.

This seems reasonable, but it's not consistent with what my experience with BOINC has been so far. Up until now I usually got at least SOME credit each day for the work being done. Over the past week I have received a total of about 40 credits. That's about 1 credit / WU completed. That seems ridiculous since my average credit is listed at 50 credits / WU. Why the sudden lack of credit? It's stranger still that I actually received 38 credits one day followed by several days of 0 credit, and finally a few days where I received exactly 1 credit. Something is broken... All of the sudden every single work unit that I process hasn't been done by 3 computers?

P.S. "Recent Credit in the chart actually means "Average Credit."

Now the transitioner and the validator are not running, and the scheduler not respond! :O

According to the SETI BOINC website the website was truncated and they thought it was a hack attempt. According to the status everything is down

data-driven web pages klaatu Running
scheduler kryten Running
feeder kryten Running
file_deleter koloth Not running
transitioner1 klaatu Not running
transitioner2 klaatu Not running
transitioner3 kryten Not running
transitioner4 kryten Not running
sah_validate klaatu Not running
sah_assimilator galileo Running
sah_splitter galileo Not running
sah_splitter2 milkyway Not running
sah_splitter3 philmor Not running

Also i must mention my BOINC client is locked hard into my tray after it finished a WU. This is a bug i think.
