I am encountering a problem when I try to fill my queue with jobs from a project with a steady flow and switch back to HSTB or FAH2.

After performing an manual update I see "Deferred for: 00:01:20" under Status in BoincTasks. After watching it count down to 00:00:00 and then disappearing, I perform another manual update and instead I am rebuffed with the message from the server "Not sending work - last request too recent: 89 sec".

Another thing I have noticed that one of my 3 computers starts counting down at 00:02:00, the other 2 start at about 00:01:20 (40 seconds less). I do not have a problem with the computer that starts counting from 2 minutes, only the 2 that start at 1:20. It would seem that either the server sends incorrect backoff value, they receive or report to BoincTasks in correctly, or BoincTasks is getting it wrong.

I performed a manual update at the 2 computers using BOINC Manager and they start counting down at 2 minutes. It didn't think it could be the server and that proves it. I compared the message on BOINC Manager at the computer to that reported by BoincTasks and there is a discrepancy. The only potential spots are transmitting the status to BoincTasks by the client computer or BoincTasks itself.

I have Boinc 7.2.47 (current WCG recommendation) installed on all three computers and the the latest version of BoincTasks (1.69) installed. This is not a new development. I have noticed it for a while, but finally am annoyed enough to look into it.

Any thoughts?

Cheers
