I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth but somehow I have the 100k silver TF badge and only completed 2 WU for 1800 points each.

GPUGrid was down and the TF's beat Einstein@Home to the GTX1060.

I'll stop doing GPUGrid after 2 more days (will hit 1000 CPU hours) and take up TF full time for badge and 1000 CPU hours (or summer heat returns) but didn't expect a silver badge so soon.

The GPU host machine's PS died months back and got it working last month, and I just allowed SRBase work units last night, so it's not possible the machine ran TF WU's before last night.

EDIT: Free-DC shows me getting 200k points today so maybe the problem is in the individual WU reporting DB?

Normally not, you have 127k credits and 71 WUs are done.

Huh, I can only see 2 completed and 1 in progress from my tasks management.

Are these bundled somehow?

EDIT: Oh it's up to 4 finished 1 in progress.

Is there some reporting delay?

EDIT2: Got to get ready for work. Have a good weekend.

You can find all credits and tasks completed in your account.

Task from list are purged when work unit are validated but list work done is stored in account for each application. As it looks now you would see:

Sierpinski / Riesel Base credit 834,753 total (5930 tasks)
Riesel Base credit 257,655 total (10235 tasks)
Sierpinski Base credit 322,898 total (3898 tasks)
Sierpinski / Riesel Base - short credit 948,487 total (5826 tasks)
Sierpinski / Riesel Base - long credit 15,589,200 total (2323 tasks)
Sierpinski / Riesel Base - average credit 1,436,145 total (3834 tasks)
Riesel Base - short credit 217,170 total (22739 tasks)
Sierpinski Base - short credit 349,476 total (25043 tasks)
TF credit 180,000 total (100 tasks)

This stored on your account and not disappear.

I appreciate your response but been doing work at SRBase and do know how that works. I posted because this seemed abnormal to my last 3 years of service here.

I was seeing a delay of about 3 hours in the account WU database.

Went and checked the client event log before going to work and it showed 60+ tasks done but my account here only showed 5 TF done, in total, a few minutes after I posted my previous message. (It shows 89 completed atm and w/o a delay I should have seen 60+ when starting this thread).

Not sure if the reporting delay has always existed or is just a temporary delay.

UPDATE: I checked the time stamps of the current WU's and one complete at 21:32 UTC (event log on client) and shows in progress here on the account. The last one to complete shows 21:22 and shows completed in my account WU database so the delay is approximately 7-8 minutes.
The 3 hour delay appears to have been a glitch of yesterday.

@rebirther

what's delay before a validated WU is purged from a clients WU list?

I'm guessing 16-18 hours since all WU from yesterday are now purged from the TF machines' current work database but yesterday the last 90 TF WU's of the day (11-12 mins each so appr 16-18 hours worth) were visible.

Is purge happening once a day in a database cleanup?

Purging 2-3 times a day for dbbackup. The validation is in realtime, the badge updates are every 10min.

Lowered power settings on GPU's as the weather heats up and left them running for 8 hours to get data on efficiencies and found 2 results at 18:10 UTC.

Looks like 1 purge happens at 18 UTC
