The above error occurred on all 3 systems with a AMD Ryzen 5 5600G CPU, and happened after approx. 45 min., see:

https://boinc.mak.termit.me/odlk2025/result.php?resultid=310433,
https://boinc.mak.termit.me/odlk2025/result.php?resultid=297072,
https://boinc.mak.termit.me/odlk2025/result.php?resultid=296774.

I tried to manage around this problem by suspending the tasks (see message https://boinc.mak.termit.me/odlk2025/forum_thread.php?id=16&postid=73, and let them finish, which they did without errors.(??)
That means they got validated, but only for the runtime they ran not suspended.
So for some time I tried to suspend the tasks close to the time at which they would fail: approx. 45 min.
(apparently after suspension, the tasks start all over again)

I have another system with 2 Intel Xeon X5675 CPUs.
I tried the same method on this system, but yesterday I noticed, that all tasks on this system ran to completion after approx. 2h45m and got validated. (Example: https://boinc.mak.termit.me/odlk2025/result.php?resultid=378176).

That took me back to the Ryzen systems.
I started tasks on one system, suspended all but one when they reached about 99% completion.
The one I left not suspended failed with EXIT_TIME_LIMIT_EXCEEDED after approx. 1h33m, see:
https://boinc.mak.termit.me/odlk2025/result.php?resultid=377580.

Today I let the tasks run again on all 3 systems, and to my surprise all tasks finished and validated, see:
https://boinc.mak.termit.me/odlk2025/result.php?resultid=389778 (Phobos - 1h18m41s),
https://boinc.mak.termit.me/odlk2025/result.php?resultid=388617 (Mars - 1h12m13s),
https://boinc.mak.termit.me/odlk2025/result.php?resultid=388833 (Venus - 1h19m30s).

The 24 tasks I started on the Xeon X5675 CPUs still failed, but now after approx. 2h50m.

It is getting more and more weird.
Do these tasks have to 'learn' how much time the need to complete?

My computer is slow.
The task is running for more than two hours.

But I don't pause anything!

30 tasks complete simultaneously.
