Well, about 10 days ago, I got an incredible load of CPU work, with a very short Deadline, some about 2 to 1 days and 3 days ago, I deleted, tasks with an impossible deadline of 2 -6 hours for over 10 tasks, all CPU.
And never was necessary before, I hate deleting tasks.
I've set it to N.N.T. and wonder, if complted tasks are reported, whith this setting?
In my experience you must manually click update for them to go back.

And when tasks are reported a few hours after deadline, are they declined and sended to other hosts?
According to the Mods you will still get credits for them. But yes any unit not returned on time gets automatically sent out to another pc for crunching.

Tasks will be reported automatically. There's a whole lot of conditions that will trigger the report (John McLeod VII has posted the full list - about 10 items - several times, on several project message boards), but the main ones are "24 hours after completion" and "if deadline is imminent".

The report will always be accepted. Whether or not you are awarded credit depends whether the other computers working on the WU (including the extra task(s) sent out as a result of your missed deadline) have formed a valid quorum before your report. If you only miss the deadline by a few minutes or hours, it is likely that no "canonical result" will have been chosen, and under those circumstances you are eligible for credit - assuming your work is good, of course. But if the other crunchers beat you to it, then you won't get credit.

I am too impatient then as I have not waited that long before doing a manual update. Thanks that is good info to have.
