I have recently been getting a lot of tasks that just don't stop until they time out or get an Exceeded Elapsed Time Limit error

If I find one now I abort it.

They waste huge amounts of cpu time, they take up a full core, they fail eventually anyway.

I have reset the project on all my computers but it is still happening.

They reach 100% and then keep running and can run up to 10 hours before the time limit steps in, the work units should be taking less than 4 hours.

Please can this be looked into and fixed?

It is annoying and makes me think about dropping this project.

Thanks
Conan

Me to, I think more then 50% of the tasks are at around 4 hours of running at 100% (like normal for my system) but then stays in the running state up to 24+ hours. Sometimes they eventually complete (ready to report) but more often they fail (computation error).

For example:
https://boinc.loda-lang.org/loda/result.php?resultid=15833330 wu_1753764465_4911_0 (completed)
and
https://boinc.loda-lang.org/loda/result.php?resultid=15823109 wu_1753764465_93_0 (timeout)

But there are at least dozens more of each.

Same here. I am suspending the Project until this is fixed and aborting all current tasks that exhibit this behavior. I have better things for my computer's time.
