I've found myself in a credit/debt loop that has projects taking turns running at High Priority.
If I stop getting new tasks and let the task list clear out, will resetting the projects clear my credit/debt so I can start fresh??

Resetting once usually not, no. Resetting multiple times does change the long term debt towards zero.

So is there any better way to do it?

For all projects? Umm are you on Windows? You can do it with boinccmd without having to edit the client_state.xml file manually, but automating it from Windows is hard...

You could also get BOINC DV and reset the debts of the projects with that (Windows only). Exit/Stop BOINC before you do that.

Excellent! Thank you.

I'll reset the debt when my task list is clear and start afresh, a some new preferences to hopefully avoid this in the future.
