For some reason these projects on one machine are being downloaded that have et run times of several hundred hours. This doesn't happen on a different, equally powered machine. Is there anyway to reset something some where so the machine will download project files that it can actually process in a usable time frame? ID: 27249 ·

Those estimates can be way too big, depending on the Duration Correction Factor, which will be "corrected" over time. Gruß, Gundolf Computer sind nicht alles im Leben. (Kleiner Scherz) ID: 27254 ·

Any ideas on how to get tasks that have a chance to complete before their expiration date? currently running 6.4.4 Maybe I should uninstall/reinstall w/ newer version ? ID: 27379 ·

Did they run 130 hours to completion? ID: 27380 ·

The latest Einstein download has an est run time of 252 hours remaining with a total actual accumulated total of 60 hr.s ID: 27479 ·

You can find it on the Computer summary page of your online account. Gruß, Gundolf ID: 27582 ·
