The allowed time to run is way too short. I am now getting a bunch of tasks failing after ~6,700 seconds. This is wasting CPU cycles and not giving science results. Please fix and cancel these broken tasks.

Here is an example:

Here too, dozens of them.

I checked a couple of those failing tasks, and noticed that all my wingman (up to 4) also had their tasks fail.

We're having some of those as well:
<message>exceeded elapsed time limit 7908.36 (3000.00G/0.38G)</message>
Please turn off this behaviour.
As already mentioned, this is wasted energy, not helping your science, and the volunteers don't even recieve credit for their work.

I have almost 90% failure rate now with the task generator template values you changed yesterday. Tasks fail at only a few hundred seconds of running.

Change the app_speed setting back to your original values, please.

You are wasting everyone's time and energy and producing no science.

I also had tasks that were almost 2 hours of calculation that were cancelled by server for the same reason I guess.
