As of a few days ago, my computer does no longer receive work units.

This:
29.08.2022 10:17:51 | Moo! Wrapper | update requested by user
29.08.2022 10:17:53 | Moo! Wrapper | Sending scheduler request: Requested by user.

29.08.2022 10:18:30 | Moo! Wrapper | Project requested delay of 31 seconds

is the usual set of messages of the Boinc client.

Per project web site, work units should be available.

Is there any known reason, or even something I can do to get this sorted out?

Thanks,

Arno

Do you still have the application in your project folder? I had the same issue a while ago, since I didn't get any answer I ended up with creating my own app_info and running the app as anonymous, but if you still have it, than that's not the issue.

Can you try to request CPU tasks? (with very low cache setting if you don't want too many of them)

EDIT: I see you got one single task today, so in general your computer is able to receive them... no idea what's the issue than.

Thanks for the advice... the application settings seem to be all in place.

And it turns out that my computer requested and received a CPU task just now, after increasing allowed CPU usage a bit, so CPU at least works.

The GPU is currently loaded with a a non-dnet BOINC work unit, but I'll observe how things behave.

Whatever the reason was, it seems to have resolved itself. I have work units waiting now, and I have not been able to identify any reason for not getting any for a while.
