Seeing this again....
My home page stats hours https://wuprop.boinc-af.org/home.php are still showing task hours from several days ago counting as "last day hours", but the "last 24 hours hosts" hours page are correct.

Still showing hours of tasks that have not been run in days on my home page... example:
PRIVATE GFN SERVER	GFN-11 MEGA Prime Search	10,094.92		0.07

Not sure what is causing NEGATIVE HOURS on some sub-projects according to the Last 24 hours user activity page?

*Could it be Database / delayed hours counting problems by server code?
Here is one example from my page loaded a few minutes ago:

"HOST 5"
LODA / LODA -10.95
NFS / 16e Lattice Sieve for smaller numbers -2.32
Ramanujan Machine / Ramanujan Machine -0.92

There are lots of things not fixed or actually breaking down more and more every day as it seems.

Message 9191 - Posted: 1 Jul 2022, 1:56:41 UTC

Found MORE problems with hours calculations:
All my PC's and Android devices are missing total hours on average 2 hours per core/thread short per 24 hour wall time.

These two apps are just easy to discover examples. Each app has been running 24 hours wall time on 2 cores each for a total of what should be 48 hours each.

96 	PrimeGrid	Sierpinski/Riesel Base 5 Problem (LLR)	4,076.47		44.00
125 	PrimeGrid	Cullen (LLR)	2,572.80		44.00


Instead, as you can see above, they only received credit for 44 hours each.
That's 4 hours each I did not receive credit for.
Looking at WuProp completed tasks run times, upload and download times I can see some task run less than 3600 seconds, sometimes more, and then there's the upload/download time delays consuming a few seconds each.

Maybe it's time we go back to 6 hour Runtimes on tasks so that the loss of calculated hours is minimized to a few minutes per calculated 24 hour wall time.

Problem is still ongoing... ... Any chance to fix?
PrimeGrid Sierpinski/Riesel Base 5 Problem (LLR). 4,374.27 44.00
PrimeGrid Genefer 19 4,313.83 44.00

Above two examples are running on 2 threads each and should be registering 48 cumulative computational hours. Each one missing 4 hours over 24 hours wall time reporting.

Didn’t have the problem under previously run 6 hours tasks, only since project resumed under 1 hour tasks.

There is nothing to fix. Counting hours runs correctly.
Check your host activity, you'll see counting hours is OK.

Last day count is an approximate computing.

Using <report_results_immediately>1</report_results_immediately> would reduce the time between tasks

THAT IS ALREADY IN USE across all devices so it's something else.

Looking at Run Time of reported task most run 3600 seconds, others run a little as aprox 3200 seconds and some more than 3600 seconds... if less they are being upload/download at aprox 3600 seconds.
Example: Task 124639738

So if I copy and paste the total numbers for a particular application into a spreadsheet every day am I'm getting the most accurate numbers possible at the moment of the webpage being generated? And is it as accurate as possible day after after day?
