The recent average credit will only increase if you get continuous credit. Checking your computers, I see that most of the tasks you returned are pending, meaning they are waiting for your wingmen to return the same tasks so credit can be given out. So while waiting for that credit to be given, the natural decay on the RAC will let it go down. Still nothing to worry about as it'll go back up when a lot of those tasks will get credit. |

OK, well, Ive just read that link above. . . but I can't see the answer? RAc is determined over just what span? Maybe it's me, but I thought it was calculated over 30 days???? Join Paranormal Seti looking into the unknown |

OK, well, Ive just read that link above. . . but I can't see the answer? RAc is determined over just what span? Maybe it's me, but I thought it was calculated over 30 days???? Citation from the link above: If an entire week passed since the last credit was granted, the Recent Average Credit for the object will be divided by 2. The actual calculation is exponential. And the given formula for Recent Average Credit is RAC(new) = RAC(old)*d(t) + (1-d(t))*credit(new) where 604800 seconds are 7 days. So you can say that in a way the "span" is a week, though the calculation isn't that of the "normal" mean value where you divide a sum of values by the accumulated time.
