The Recent Average Credit (RAC) for hadam3p has been unrealistically inflated since this model type was released in March 2009. While the total credits for each hadam3p model was and is correct, the RAC was way too high. Milo fixed this today (Dec 8) and the RAC for those running any hadam3p models should now be what one would expect for the average credit per day.

A thread that has been ongoing about the problem is here.

So that’s why my RAC dropped 1200 points over night.

But is it why I lost over 2 million credits last night? Has anyone else lost a bunch of credit recently?

It looks like this is a problem cause by the BOINC stats export job running whilst the RAC recalculation is going on. I\'ve checked the stats export that was generated yesterday with the total_credit value in our database, based on some comments in this thread, and I see the following:

miw:
In export: 3120196.378416
In database: 5537775.30401362

Talknuser:
In export: 1068986.849548
In database: 1603780.00134499

So, it looks like the dump is dodgy but the database is OK, as I would expect. The next dump is due to run at around 14:30 hours GMT and I expect that this will fix the problem. Apologies for the nuisance.

OK, it has now run and I\'m seeing respectable looking values again, which should be reflected on the stats site next time they update.

Excellent. Let\'s hope that last export was a good one!
