Re: Daily Quota Strangeness

Invalid results trigger the same response as errors. As a result, users with invalid results have had their max number of results/day reduced. I have been going in an manually raising everyone's limit due to the high number of invalid results. However, since it is taking us longer then we would like to resolve this invalid issue I have gone in and disabled that code. Users will not have invalid results from the Human Proteome Folding Project - Phase 2 reduce their max results per day until this problem is resolved.

Re: Daily Quota Strangeness

OK, thanks, that should help. But I still don't really see how I was getting reduced from a max quota of 20 (if that's the project limit) down to 4 or 8 with a typical daily upload of, say, 9 Valids, 3 Invalids, and an Error. Even if the 4 bad units all happened in a row (and they don't), that would only reduce me to 16, and the first good unit would put me back at 20.

Of course, this is complicated by the fact that Invalids aren't detected when you upload them; they don't hit until some random time later, often not for a couple of days. Or even several days, if it goes Inconclusive for a while first.

Hmmm... maybe it's a side effect of the way the server batches up the validations and does a bunch at once? Say I've got a whole pile of Pending Validations and Inconclusives going (which I always do), and the server validator kicks in and finds several Invalids all in one cycle? That would hit me with a bunch of errors in a row, which would knock down my quota quite a bit, for no detectable reason on my end since this would happen some random time well after things were uploaded.

Still, hard to believe it would find 16 bad results in a single validate, let alone on several different days now.

Oh, well. Enough already. I'm still not sure it's working right, but it's really not that important as long as systems aren't routinely being left idle.
