Hey,

as the new 10^20 workunits run longer is it possible to extend the deadline for a couple of days?

The deadline is 3 days, current workunits finish in only ~3 hours on your PC. I don't see a big issue here.

Ok but I donĀ“t run my hosts 24/7 and also run multiple other projects as well which means the amicable workunits come in and directly run in panic mode. Would it lead to issues on the server side when extending the deadline a few days?

The problem is that the project uses replication: each workunit is sent to two volunteers, and if one of them holds it, the other one will have to wait until he gets credit for it.

Even if you miss deadline for some workunits, they'll just be sent to someone else. Just make sure that if you're already running a workunit, wait until it completes if you're going to switch to other projects for a few days.
