The Server says there are 'no tasks available' for the app you want BUT when I look at the Server Status page it says there are tens of thousands of tasks available for the ones I want. Soo the answer must be that either the Server Status page isn't updating or the numbers are reversed and the actual number of tasks available is only in the thousands. Either way though I SHOULD be able to get new tasks as long as I'm not running in the 'task limit' setting which is not the message I am getting:

Fri 02 May 2025 08:02:49 AM EDT | odlk2025 | No tasks are available for Calc19Tuples
Fri 02 May 2025 08:02:49 AM EDT | odlk2025 | No tasks are available for Calc21Tuples

After that is the message "Fri 02 May 2025 08:03:05 AM EDT | odlk2025 | This computer has reached a limit on tasks in progress"

The Server Status right this minute shows:

Calculate Tuples 50363 2817
Calc19Tuples 55422 10635
Calc21Tuples 55793 6323

I can only say that there are tasks on the server, tens of thousands.
I upload tasks to the server myself.

Maybe termit has introduced a limit on the number of tasks for one computer?

Does anyone have the same problem?

Hello mikey!

I received from termit an answer to your question in PM.

Ограничение есть на 500 заданий в день. Это сделано не мной и не спроста -- это ограничение от спама и защита от неправильно работающих клиентов.

Thanks for the reply but since it's in Russian and I can't speak or read Russian I am still in the dark, sorry for the trouble.

There is a limit of 500 tasks per day. This was not done by me and for a reason - this is a limitation from spam and protection from incorrectly working clients.

Seems to be set way to low. That isn't even a day of work for machines with 32 or greater threads. For my 128 thread server, that is about 6 to 8 hours of work.

Oh!
If each cruncher processed 500 tasks per day!!

Currently, the Calculate Tuples App processes only 1975 tasks

Calculate Tuples 42326 1975 1.64 (0 - 5.6)

I'm not running ODLK2025 exclusively. It is a very small part of my total processing capacity. As soon as I reach a processing goal on another project, I plan to run ODLK2025 exclusively for a period of time. My smallest machines (except for one 6 core CPU) are 32 thread machines that process ODLK2025 work in about one and a half hours each. At that rate it is just a little short of a day (about 23.5 hours) to process 500 units. The 128 thread server will take about 13 hours to do 500 work units. This is on an older gen 1 EPYC processor. There are a lot of systems out there that are bigger and faster than mine. The fact that you have already received inquiries into the limit should be a warning that it may be too small. Maybe increase it to a 1000.
