Try modifying your general preferences so that you don't connect more then .1 times per day. I think if you don't stretch out your connections you will not get work for the moment.

you need to get your client(s) to not request more work for an hour ie 3600 seconds easiest way would be to disable network activity

(In [13849]) - client: fix bug where delay request from project is ignored if no results are returned.

Expect the fix on 5.10.23. Now for the bad part: the "Deferring communication for..." is now shown only if you have debugging enabled. Who thinks the delay should be always shown?

And me. Now it would only show with the <sched_op_debug> flag on? I don't need to see all the details of all the scheduler RPCs all the time. It gives a lot of clutter for a simple message:

I think the delay should always show. It's a huge help when trying to figure out why something is not crunching WU's the way I would expect it to.

Me too!! I realize you can see the current deferment in the projects tab, but it is nice to see the history (like 1 min deferrals growing to 2 hours or more, etc) so you have a better idea of what's going on.
Don't get distracted by shiny objects.

My MSG tab shows deferral amounts and why. (.10.20)

In fact, if you compare in my log the entries for SETI and LHC you will see the problem. Seti says "deferring for x" and then on the next line it says Reason: requested by project.

LHC says "deferring for y" but the reason is "no work from project"

What I'm trying to point out is that LHC does not seem to be communicating the required backoff time to the client. Maybe this is because doing so requires the server code upgrade they've been mentioning.

No, the bug was client-side, v5.10.14 introduced a bug that means every time you asks for work but don't get any, the deferral-message from project are not used.

If you did get work, or didn't ask for work (like only reporting), even LHC@home will show "Reason: requested by project".

FYI: it's now fixed, fix will be available on 5.10.23.

The next version of BOINC will not show it anymore, that's what I was talking about. I think five people against the change is enough to get it reverted :)
