This problem maybe do not let me get new credits, but I have read geophi that, nevertheless, I can keep running it. So, when do I need to reset the project? Until it finished? Thanks!

Those of use who get it occasionally, just ignore it. If you reset, you lose the model and all the data crunched so far. And there is no guarantee that you won\'t get the message with the next model. The worst that can happen, is that the model will crash. Otherwise, it will just continue. ID: 20182 · Reply Quote

The worst that can happen, is that the model will crash. Otherwise, it will just continue. If a model crashes, it helps a lot to have a backup. I back up the entire BOINC folder once a week - about every 10% of the WU\'s progress. ID: 20249 · Reply Quote
