Expire, yes. But keep the RES64 for DC.

And, another oddity...

Are others seeing this issue?

~0730 UTC 2021-02-15, 32 of 32 attempts at manual P-1 assignments (an attempt at a batch of 31 followed by a retest requesting 1), respond like this:

Not enough available memory for P-1 factoring assignments. 

DoubleCheck=(AID),58660957,74,1

Problem persists now ~1530 UTC 2021-02-15 (a single 11-assignment request)
Can not get any new P-1 assignments for gpuowl v6.11 on gpus.
It takes around 30 per Radeon VII per day at the P-1 for first-test wavefront.

PM to James Heinrich ~0730 UTC but it is outside his realm.
PM to Prime95 ~1531 UTC
I can temporarily busy the gpus going empty, with PRP, or P-1/PRP for high exponents, but that does not help clear the P-1 for others doing wavefront PRP who perhaps have too little ram for an efficient P-1.

(edit:) FWIW, PrimeNet API/prime95 does not appear to be affected, as of 2021-02-15 1130 UTC.
(edit 2:) Assigning LL DC 1:1 in place of requested P-1 is overkill, comprising several times the GhzD per assignment at gpuowl default P-1 bounds. (LL DC 56M ~ 120. GhzD, 102M P-1 at 1M, 30M ~15. GhzD, each; ~8:1 ratio over requested work.)

Happened to me too. I got 13 DC LL's instead of PM1's a few hours ago.

Each manual assignment had this text:

"Not enough available memory for P-1 factoring assignments."

Please try again.

I increased the CPU power required to get first-time tests. While I was at it I increased the amount of RAM a client must have to get P-1 assignments. In the process, I messed up manual assignments.

Can you start enforcing expiration on P-1?
There are a bunch here with no progress and are a month old:

[slandrum]

Snapshot at the hour, from the milestones page it shows 33 needing to be cleared, with 2 available. From the work distribution map it shows 32 w/o LL (not 33), but also shows 28 assigned to PRP/LL, 3 assigned to P-1, and 2 available for LL/PRP assignment (which does add to 33).

Server seems to be down for the last hour or so. Manual connection and connection from Prime95 fails.

EDIT: Server is up again now at: 2:40pm UTC

Odd, curtisc got reassigned the CERT on 102864757 and completed it OK.
