Workunit and task distribution is temporarily off until the backlog of WUs clears.

Edit: Maintenance finished, everything should be back to normal now.

How long will it be down for? Looking at the server status, nothing seems unusual?

Until "Workunits waiting for validation" clears. There has been an increase in computing power in the last few days, so I'm tweaking the server in the meantime. It should clear in 2-3 hours.

Is the Off-Status still actual?
Can not upload for hours.

Also unsent tasks are piling up.

I will turn on file uploader and task scheduler soon, as soon as all pending WUs are validated. It should happen in ~30 minutes.

Yes, this is a part of server tuning that I've been doing.

At the time of writing this the transistor has a backlog of 1.22 1.46 hours.

I figured this is the best place to ask this question. At the time of writing the server status page shows a Transitioner backlog (hours) of 5.76 I'm curious to know what is 5.76 hour backlog referring to? Tia

Time since a WU was marked for a transition (usually for validation).

Thank you. Will this mean that part 4 of the project will finish sooner than estimated completion date currently 2026-04-01? Currently part 4 is 74.6612% complete

How do you manage to obtain said information?

Waiting for backlog to clear again, task generation is off now. It can take a day or two.

Sounds good to me. If you need extra time for the backlog to clear completely, I'm fine with that. Not sure what others here think though.
I've tasks that are 3 weeks old and still awaiting validation. Let's hope these are all cleared.

BTW, thanks for keeping us updated and the quick response.

The "waiting for validation" number is going down steadily now. I've re-enabled task generation, but all tasks will be 4 times bigger now (and 4x the points) to reduce the load on the server.

Looks like the newly created tasks are in the back of the queue now, so people will have to wait for them.

Is there an ETA.

Also I think the main reason is not the processing needed for validating a task, instead its the amount of tasks needing validated.

Backlog should clear in 3 days at this pace. New tasks are already being sent out, but "ready to send" is not consistently above 0 yet.
