My Phenom II X6 1100T Spaceheater is also 'cold' on CPU Workunits.

Restarting your system causes the client to restart which resets the retry counter. Thus, it can re-try quite a few times within the first 5 minutes giving the illusion that restarting the system works. You can get the same result if you were to pause and then unpause the Slots. However, the idea to have an exponential back-off (capped to 1 hour) is to prevent a friendly DDoS on the Servers.

So when you're impatient, you are intentionally contributing to DDoS on a server which might be frantically trying to recover from some down-time. Yes, you might be able to jump in front of others who are patiently waiting for their next turn at getting an assignment. Anything for a few extra points when there's a competition/challenge going on.

Is there another CPU WU shortage at the moment? For the last 36 hours my cpu:4 folding slots take 1-6 hrs between WUs to get the next assignment. It seems that I'm mostly getting P17231 from WS 206.223.170.146, which has 0 public jobs most of the time according to the
server stats. I wonder why I'm not getting any A8 WU from 129.32.209.203 or 143.89.243.111, they have thousands available and P16520
was even announced today.
This is one of my machines sitting there for over an hour doing nothing:

129.32.209.203 or 143.89.243.111 have 2600 public jobs available at the moment but they might not fit the 4 or 8 core thread requirement? My 2-core CPUs get jobs almost immediately, but my 8 core CPU gets assigned to 128.252.203.9 which has only 5 public jobs available.
Edit: I got an 8-core job from 129.32.209.203 now, so it seems the main problem here is being assigned to a work server which has almost no public jobs left (128.252.203.9). Once those jobs get assigned, and the WU reports to the assignment server that it has no CPU jobs to give out, then the issue should resolve itself, I guess?

All my CPU slots (4, 8, 12 cpu) keep getting assigned to the 128.252.203.9 server, which has no work units.
As soon as I posted that, I connected to 129.32.209.204 and got a WU. I guess my complaint helped.

The server stats show that there are WUs available, and even that jobs are being assigned, but I didn't get any new CPU nor GPU jobs either since about that time. It'd be strange if both of them run out at the same time, so something else may need attention.

One of my clients got a new WU about an hour ago
somthing got unstuck

At the time I post this Serverstats is only showing 1 assignable A8 unit and zero A7 on a non-zero weighted server... so yeah I'd say that there is a CPU WU shortage at the moment or something is very wonky. Either with serverstats or the assign servers.
Edit: and immediately after I posted this it looks like Vav20 got a dump of about 2.8k CPU A8 units

I made a new thread about being assigned to work servers without jobs on them. I also pinged the Discord about it. viewtopic.php?f=18&t=36964

Yeah, both my 5950x and 3950x (both set to one 28 thread CPU slot + GPU slot) have been idling the CPU for couple of days now. There has been same kind of WU shortages for high thread counts before, and then I just splitted up CPU to 2x 14 thread slots. I'll do that again to see if there are WU's for lower thread counts.
[edit] Even dropping thread count of slot doesn't seem to help.

It looks like there are new A8 projects rolling in... but the assignment servers aren't actually giving those servers for work servers. it seems like 206.223.170.146 has extremely high weight for some reason. There are a ton of jobs sitting on 129.32.209.203... but they aren't getting assigned. Right now Serverstats is saying that only 96/hr A8 Units are getting assigned and 0/hr A7.
