In scrolling through my WU task listings on the website, I have a bunch (over 700) completed tasks (Valid & Invalid) listed from January 2021. There is a jump from March 2022 back to January 2021 in the Valid listings.

Every so often, someone notices these and asks about them...

In late January/early February 2021 the generated Work Unit IDs got so large that the database couldn't handle them, and although Tom Donlon did his best to get a graceful recovery a certain amount of data got orphaned for one reason or another... Here's a post where Tom comments on the issue.

Hope that answers your question :-)

Cheers - Al.

Hi Al,
Thanks for the reply. Any idea if these old WU will ever get cleaned up?

Only when they wipe the database of all tasks and then drop new ones on us, until then it just is what it is and ALOT of us have tasks like you do.
