PC #5348586 has 308 tasks in progress.

I've had a LOT more than that (this A.M). Is there a new limit in place now??

I think this message from Richard is the best answer we'll get, unless Eric or Jeff post to this thread or give us an update after Tuesday's maintenance outage.

I've got 50 "in progress" and my machine is being refused more WUs too. It may be a bug.

When they used the advanced job limits following the scheduled 3 day outages, it worked per CPU. IOW, a quad core host could get 4 times as many as a single core host. However, IIRC the format of that config_aux.xml has changed since then. I don't think the older version needed a <per_proc/> entry to work that way.

It may be intentional, there are very few single core hosts these days and it's certainly simpler just to specify how many jobs for CPU and GPU a host can have. It will avoid unintentional overfetching when the scaling of estimates returns to normal.

Current download limits(temporary) Have been set to 50 for CPU, 400 for GPU.

As bandwidth becomes available, I am certain they will increase them.

I've got less than 120 GPU tasks on one system & it'm getting the "reached limit" message.

I'm not sure if that is bandwidth, or results in the field + results waiting validation -- their database size.

In any case setting a 10 day cache isn't going to do you any good for Seti. Ironically this limit may increase your RAC as it forces work units to come back sooner so they validate sooner.

And then when i don't get that message i get the "No tasks sent" or "Project has no work available" messages.
