Eight days ago, the server reported that Part 4 of the 10^21 project was to be completed in late February. Now the server reports that it will be completed on March 7. I wonder if this completion delay is related to the fact that a small number of my tasks are taking much longer (5-10x) to complete than expected. However, if I "suspend" and "resume" one of these recalcitrant tasks, they are completed in very short order. Is anyone else experiencing similar anomalies? Thanks in advance for sharing.

Yes I am also experiencing this behaviour with some tasks, like you if I suspend and resume them they will run at the normal time for your device.

Another reason for the later completion date could be because as I write the trend sister has a backlog of "2.17 hours" earlier on today I saw the average runtime was 0.3 hours this is normally around 0.25 or less

Another reason why the completion date is pushed out because at the time of writing there are 12,172 results waiting to be validated, I have a feeling not all but most of these will already be returned waiting for the server to catch up & mark the results as valid
