Just noticed tasks are now running about 60 minutes instead of anywhere from 1 to 3 minutes.
Looking at my task list it appears to have started around 29 Jun 2024, 23:44:40 UTC.

I don't see any notices of any changes nor any recent changes to the apps either on the forums.

Credit has gone up accordingly, so that seems OK, possibly to cut down on the server being hit by all those short tasks.

Remaining time and Progress % are out though.
Progress hits 90% around 9 minutes then slows to 99.999% by 40 minutes.
Remaining time I've only seen blank (0).

1. yes, like i wrote earlyi will test some aspect of server with longer task <- i think 1 hour will be standard task like last time, but maybe with more results data
2. at this moment credists is from original boinc function, so longer task use more cpu and give more points <- i have to decided if i want to stay at this solution or give static credits for every WU like last time
3. test app has an bug with progress report to boinc manager <- new one will be use wrapper instead of boinc api

Thanks goofyx, that is good news, seems to be working well so far that I can see.
