[1] Job sizes vary, especially between different apps. (And we have quite a lot of apps.). So the bottom line is that estimates across multiple apps and varying runtimes is unreliable.Â
In part as a result of this, job scheduling in our service has evolved such that it no longer relies on these estimates -- and these estimates likely aren't super useful for our volunteers, either, I'm afraid.Â
[2] Re: availability of tasks for a given app: it's simply the case that jobs for any specific app are not always available (ie demand is finite); this is normal. Your device should move onto work for other apps in such case. Â
Why do ce22 tasks state eta 10 hours but finish in a minute and rarely available?
