Windows only, for the moment.

It is epidemic



You can see the deadline is always 10 hours before the estimated end date !

They are all v7.61, unlike the huge one I mentioned above and that finally failed.

So what ? 7.61 tasks are more reliable and I can trust that they will end in time ?

Or I'd better cancel them always if they take like more than one day because "you never know if they will end", and then all this CPU crunch time will be lost forever in oblivion, systematically ?

Wonderful: the longest task failed after 7 days (before the deadline), the 2nd one succeeded, and the last one failed too after 2 days.

I actually realize I have 17 theory tasks that failed, 6 are docker tasks that fail almost immediately (see this other topic about it, it never works on Mac) and the 11 other are vbox tasks that fail after a significant running time.

Vs 258 valid tasks, so that's a 6% error rate, I don't know if this is "quite normal" or not.
