Yes, that is not uncommon, especially when the servers are flaky. But also when they are not. Also depends on who your partner is, and if they are online to do and return the work unit. Or maybe just very slow to get work done.

That workunit is not waiting for unfinished work. It has had those two returned results ready to be validated for three weeks.

Sometimes the validators just miss a work unit, especially when they have been flaky. It will get looked at again when the task deadline date of 14 Feb passes.

Anybody been able to coax the schedulers into sending some work their way?

No. No luck here getting any WU. Might have to wait till after next Tuesday's outage

I guess the forum phantom is still in play. Not long after posting, I see I managed to get 129 tasks to temporarily engage my host.

I have been getting work about once for every dozen contacts or so. Enough to keep my GPU cache actually growing, but CPU cache is depleting as it has given me only GPU work. I turned my spoofing dial down in an attempt to make it give me some CPU work the next time.

about 30 some minutes after your post, the phantom blessed me with 21 new WU. Good job...lol

Are the SETI@Home servers experiencing problems?
For the past number of weeks they have seemed erratic, sometimes appearing to be 'down' with no new tasks available for download, no collection (upload) of completed tasks and the main web page inaccessible.
For the past couple of days (today is 16th January 2020) the servers appear to be down - new tasks are not being downloaded and the results of those already uploaded are not updating.

So what likelihood do you think that now that the new 8.24 app is deployed for the troublesome AMD Navi cards, that Eric will revert the change in work unit replication earlier in an attempt to try and ameliorate the false results those cards were putting into the database?

That would certainly reduce the results out in the field and reduce the size of the database if initial replication was returned to the traditional value of 2.

Well I never saw that the changes he made every really worked anyway. I never saw overflows requiring 4 quorum or the WUs needing extra validation when an AMD card was involved.

For some time now, each of my PCs has been getting exactly the number of new jobs as it reported completed. So, not filling the caches, but at least holding stable...for now.

They have filled their caches. The cache limit is just lower now.

Well something started working. My GPU cache has enough in it the backup GPU project (E@H, resource 0) stopped shipping me more GPU tasks.

And I have a near a full load of CPU task processing too.

No, I have already accounted for the new cache limits. I am about half what I should have at full.

I'm in the same boat as @Freewill, the caches really aren't building out to their limits. Just getting a one for one return rate.

Doing better than 1-1, but not getting massive dumps. So I'm heading towards full caches, but in much slower increments. Remains to be seen if this is a bad thing ...

On one update i receive 133 WU in the next 2. I think we will need to wait a while (days) to the changes on the WU limits start to reduce the total number of WU and release load on the servers.
