It is not uncommon to go for long periods without finding Amicable pairs. Use the following link https://sech.me/ap/log/2025/2025-06-15/VOLUNTEERS%40BOINC.txt to look through and see how many pairs have been found each day (by changing the 06–15 numbers to whichever date you would like to look at) On 15 June there was only 2 Amicable pairs found.

I have crunched many tasks in the past and not found any pairs

We're searching through numbers of the form "X*P" where P is a very large prime number. There are not many amicable pairs of this form. In fact, I estimate that there are only 300-400 amicable pairs left to discover in the current search.

Thanks for your answers, I thought in this direction too, but wanted to know if I am the only one or if it is a technical problem.
