Yesterday I had Mid 270 Work Units completed. Today I only have 122. What happened to the other 150 Plus Work Units I completed? It did not effect my Overall Credit. They did not take that. Just my Work completed.

We have started removing database records for results that were completed more than 7 days ago. This will limit the size of the workunit and result tables in our database. Happy holidays!

The 'view results' link displays only those results you have downloaded and/or completed that are still in the active database. Berkeley runs a process periodically to prune out old results so they can keep this database as small as possible (to speed up access and updates to it). You don't lose any credit, its just that older results are no longer viewable.. (but they are still in other databases with your userid on it)..

Don't worry... It is supposed to work this way. It took about 100 units out of my results list today. You are not the only one.

Don't blame me, I voted for Johnson(L) in 2016.

Truth is dangerous... especially when it challenges those in power.

Looking at my account figures, I too thought it was strange! But it does make sense to delete details of completed 'transactions'!

I had over 4,200 Total WU's in my account just 3 days ago & now I only have about 1,300 Total, I'm glad too because it was a hassle trying to wade through 4,200 WU's to see how many were Pending ...
