This time it got me, my Host 47119 (Dual AthlonMP 2000+, Linux) finished its first CPDN Model today, and it got more than 10000 "Bonus" Credits granted for that.
(I reckon 2x the value of the Model)

I got no Error Messages or anything alike, I found the CPDN Model as "Ready to report", hit the "Update Project" button in BOINCview, everything looked normal (except the Credits when looking at them 10 Minutes later)

I've got another System (Notebook, WinXP) that is within 10 hours of finishing a Model, I'll have a close eye on that one as well.

Hm, interesting...

15 Minutes later, the Scores stand corrected where they should be.

Seems there's a check-up Routine running somewhere that corrected the Problem, now everything is back where it should be :)

Yes it is still happening but is automatically corrected within a short period of time. See

I think you can still end up with a high RAC which does not get corrected.

Hm, my Notebook (Host 40601) finished the CPDN Model 2 hours ago.

Again, the ~10000 Bonus Credits are there, but as of now they remain in place (2h40m elapsed since completion).

Another oddity :
My first Result (30383) shows 73 Trickles, the 2 ones finished within the last days (263850 and 242786) show only 72 Trickles, although looking at them, all are showing Phase 3, Timestep 259248 as their last Trickle (?)

I'll recheck the Scores tomorrow again, maybe it is corrected by then.

-- edit --
The Score was corrected sometime over the night, so I trust it the Problem will always be corrected within a matter of hours after occurence :)

For me when I get the extra credits, they remain till the next day when magically I get no credit for that days work till the extra credit is used up.

In other words they get you in the end.

thats good. a friend of mine is racing my 24\7 laptop aginst his desk top
for who could get the most credit in a month he picked cpdn and i took all of them except cpdn. im witting bet he just finished his cpdn model and is going to send it in this weekend when he gets my crossover cable. he has one but its not long enough from computer to cable modem. my 60 foot one hardly makes it.

When the UK tax system mistakenly deducted too little from my salary, this was unfortunately also automatically detected.
