I have been crunching 24/7 for the past month or so on milkway however the past several days i have had no work units and also communication deferred every time i try to request new units.

a different issue ( my machine can't process 16 CPUs work units and i would like a code to add to boinc not to request them as I primarily crunch 24 cores 1 unit at a time and a GPU )

The N-Body tasks are the one that are multi-threaded (MT) and you can uncheck the box in your settings to stop getting them. If however you do still want to run them just with fewer than 16 cpu cores on a single task you will need to use an app_config.xml file similar to this one:

<app_config>

<app_version>
<app_name>milkyway_nbody</app_name>
<max_concurrent>1</max_concurrent>
<plan_class>mt</plan_class>
<avg_ncpus>2</avg_ncpus>
<cmdline>--nthreads 2</cmdline>
</app_version>
</app_config>

The above is setup to use 2 cpu cores per tasks and only run 1 task at a time, for me the tasks range from an hour or so to over 7 hours each using the file above.

What does the EVENT LOG say ?

Off topic, but if you have time and feel like it, try updating your Tesla driver ...
Just a thought ...
