This is probably a general BOINC issue, not specific to Atlas, so I'm asking here:
I'm experiencing the following phenomenon:

The work package is marked as canceled:
Package 237910932: https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/workunit.php?wuid=237910932
However, the end date of the WU itself keeps getting pushed back, but I can't download and process the 11 WUs:

12/31/2025 3:02:20 p.m. Didn't resend lost task MiALDm8Vao8n9Rq4apOajLDm4fhM0noT9bVo0NGKDmQLOKDmBWVuDn_0 (expired)

I have already reset the project and even logged the PC out of the project and added the project back to the computer. This message remains.

I suspect that the expired error message is not entirely correct, because the server does not want to send me the task because the package is already marked as canceled.

But what can I do now? Thanks in advance.

Please note: This is translated from german, so some boinc key words may be incorrect.

Once a task has been marked as "cancelled" it will not be resent to you, or anyone else. There is nothing that you can do about this, nor should you worry about it.

Sobald eine Aufgabe als „storniert“ markiert wurde, wird sie weder Ihnen noch anderen erneut zugesendet. Sie können daran nichts ändern und sollten sich auch keine Sorgen machen.
