The once free Windows 10 upgrade is no longer available for free.

The thing I posted isn't me. BladeD is right, but it's multiple projects.

We took a look at this today. The server includes a mechanism that limits how many results per day a device can get for a specific application where it is returning only errors. The mechanism works by having a daily results per day limit for each host-application pairing and keeping track of how many results are sent to that device for that application each day. Devices that are returning good results normally don't encounter this limit since it is quite high.

However, after looking at the results that hiimebm they were tied to a user. The significant contributor who has many similarly configured machines that normally operate very reliably. However, something has gone wrong and they are currently only returning errors.

This should have triggered the limits that the server has built in. However, after investigation we found that there was a bug in that code and what I would call a design flaw that allowed these machines to grab 20-40 results per day and return them as errors.

We have fixed the bug and changed the design flaw so that these machines will actually be limited to just 1 result per day and not the 20-40 results per day they were able to get before. This should resolve the observations of a large number of errors that people have observed.

Note that it is important to allow these computers to be able to get 1 result per day so that once the issue is resolved, they can resume contributing.

Thanks for letting us know about this issue!
