Computer with hostid 6749 (not mine) collects nearly every 2 minutes a new WU.
For now it has 516 unfinsihed WU. Not even one is reported as failed or invalid.
The "maximum daily WU quota per CPU" shows 72/day.
Regarding the history of this computer, it will never has a chance to complete these WU within the deadline.
What is the reason for such a high WU quota? A cluster with load blancing?

Strange scheduler behaviour for computer 6749?

I also have a host (not mine) paired to most of my wu's with the same issue where it is receiving 100 to 150/day (it's up to almost 2000) to crunch and only 7 or 8 finished. I'm going to have to wait until they outdate and are re-issued before I will get any credits. http://einsteinathome.org/host/92242

Actually guys, you need to

Actually guys, you need to take another look at them. Currently they have been cut back to a quota 1 and 9 per day repectively.

Unfortunately, in order to allow for other malfunctions not to specifically related to a host problem to not untowardly penalize a given host, the throttling mechanism takes a while to shut down a host which has gone south.
