Noooooooooooooooooooooo.

Please, please release some more work. I'm just 180 hours short of 100k hours for Spacious 11.

I woke up to all my PCs with no Spacious work or had just downloaded some new work while finishing tasks on backup project. Still just a few shown ready to send and I think half the in progress # half a day later.

Server shows just 3 tasks available but I've received some a few minutes ago. It must not really be able to keep up with demand.

Yeah mikey basically gave that same response in the thread directly below this one started by the same user where I gave the response mikey did in this thread.

It seems like most have returned. It's clear they did not just recalculate based off # of completed tasks x 200 for everyone.

An admin should restore an old version of the database prior to this debacle.

The 3 days of bogus data would win the entire year.

In reply to marmot's message of 9 Jan 2026:
My machines returned 4(four) WU's in 7 days and FDC shows:
1,954,200	1,954,200	192,281	72,378	1,954,200	

488,550 each.

Look at the credit for last 7 days at FDC: https://stats.free-dc.org/users/sat

Hell, my RAC is over 2million!
Thought FreeDC would kill those credits.


But your account shows them as 200 each, correct?
Your PCs are hidden and no link to any task/host.

Yeah Spacious is basically the new Gaia. Find/Replace Gaia with Spacious and you have this. The exe is 75% the same, task name and app the same format, etc. Spacious funding started when Gaia ended. Increment Gaia IP by one and you have Spacious IP.
To smaller extent this happened already here and its happened at Gaia.

In reply to Conan's message of 9 Jan 2026:
I do not see any over credit issues.

All mine give 200 credits and that is all.

Where is the over credit applied as it is not to my work units.

Conan


1 - Its over. New additional credits are back to normal. If you didn't participate from ~Jan 4th to 7th, this doesn't apply.

2 - No one ever said each task is worth more than 200. Never once.

3 - But if you were to add up credit from all the tasks, it doesn't add up to the credit for a host/user. Credit for a given task is being added multiple times to a host/user.
Example. A host has completed 100 tasks x 200 per task should be 20,000 credit but the host and user are given 50,000. All tasks are still visible from Day 1 of the project.

Actual example: The top computer of all computers at Spacious:
State: All (5793) · In progress (320) · Validation pending (246) · Validation inconclusive (0) · Valid (5120) · Invalid (0) · Error (107)

5120 x 200 should equal 1,024,000 BUT has a total of 663,785,600 credit. 663x more than it should have received. Pretty messed up.

Data taken at the time of the post.

You've already asked this question and it's the topic of the other two threads in this sub forum.

They just like wasting their own resources running a broken/dead task.

An admin can delete my post but won't answer a question. What a joke.

For the host you linked, I see no long tasks that have completed. I checked before my last post and none were more than like 3 hr.

Check it for CPU speeds/ high tempts to see if its actually running slow.
Actually check finished run times, not the ETA. The ETA doesn't seem to work on some of my own PCs. Some are correct, some go from from 45% to completed so the ETA is much longer than actual. Probably like your rig 5. So I see one bad task, just abort.

Wonderful or not, they have been the same.

Run times have not changed for me. Check your computer.

Whatever happened is back to normal. I'm running with the same hardware (minus a few threads here and there for CDPN) and for a period there was ~5x credit between 10/20 to 11/9. The dip in the middle is a lack of work. Before and after it's been a consistent 190-200k for me which seems to be correct. Run times have been consistent.

Gaia also has had some periods of very high credit in years past.
