It looks like bad tasks. A message has been sent to the staff. Maybe the bad tasks can be removed remotely. Otherwise, it could take until Monday for the problem to be corrected.
If the problem is on one or more of your Linux systems and you have app_config.xml files for Einstein with either <max_concurrent> or <project_max_concurrent> statements, try upgrading your BOINC client to 7.20.2 or later...
There was a known problem where the client didn't properly account for existing work for projects using either of those directives - the result was that it would request more work each time there was contact with the project. OOPS!
The problem has been discussed in great detail on the forums at several projects - I'm a bit surprised you've never come across mention of it somewhere else :-)
Nope, haven't heard about it. Thanks for explaining it.
My only Win7 computer has already upgraded to 7.20.2 and doesn't have the problem.
Now I'm trying to upgrade Linux computers but have yet to figure out how. Seems BOINC folks have changed a lot of the way they do things but haven't updated links and instructions. E.g.,
BOINC client 7.20.2 released
A new version of the client has been released for Windows and Mac OS. Download it here. Release notes are here. 27 Jul 2022

Thanks

I'm having this issue.
Is it normal?
First unhide your pc's so people can see the error messages and your OS and drivers, 2nd restart your pc if you are using Windows as that will restart your cpu and gpu and give them a fresh start.

Suddenly began seeing this

Suddenly began seeing this error upon receiving a new batch on my host.
Is it my host or the WU that has a problem?

Sorry for that. We need to

Sorry for that. Our bad. We need to restart that sub-run. Bad "O3MDFV1" WUs have been cancelled.

I found 7.20.2 at https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/releases but it unzips to a set of pdb files with no instructions how to actually upgrade BOINC client. Tried the Linux Synaptic Package Manager but it reinstalled 7.16.6. I'll keep looking. Added my comments to: BOINC Linux Download Page is confusing #5129

Good to know I'm not the only one seeing that!
The time estimate is also waaaay off which is confusing the Boinc scheduler to then leave the tasks to always run overdue...
Hopefully, the e@h servers won't time them out?
Happy crunchin',
