It's always been noticed. Unfortunately the process of creating tasks depends of many factors, including humans, and thus we cannot get any reliable ETAs.
Yet it's cool that someone is watching and signals when the Scheduler gets dry.

Are older Macs no longer supported? I have a couple of Core2 Duo minis that have been been successfully running for quite some time and within the last few days they are reporting that "Project has no tasks available". Update and reset do not fix the problem. Nor does a reboot help at all. Does anyone have any suggestions or is it time to retire the machines or find a different project that still uses the old hardware? One of the minis is running Snow Leopard and the other is running Lion. BOINC version is 7.6.22.

I have a grafana instance taking measurements, would you like me to configure an alert to email you for when RTS hits a preset value?

Hi Kiska,
Your instance of Grafana is awesome, and it's quite useful!
As to your proposal for sending us alert emails, thank you for that, but we have our own service already running on the server which looks for a lot of parameters including the "task_ready_to_send" and sends us notifications. But it's not always a matter of being notified even 2 days prior queue gets dry. There are always other factors that can lead to a delay in adding new set of tasks. Still we are trying to keep it full in the best way we can before number hits zero.


Best,
Georgi

My Tab S6 Lite is currently doing the same thing (Android though). My phone still seems to be getting work though. There's plenty of work and I don't see any error messages in the log.
