Daily quota limit

(moderation:
Hi! I have one host (https://einsteinathome.org/host/12460398) which computes about 1350 tasks per day. However, I seem to hit the daily quota of ~1100 tasks per day. The event log says I reached the daily maximum and won't get any more tasks. Is there some way to increase this limit so that I can compute 100% of the time?
Thanks!
You could edit cc_config.xml

You could edit cc_config.xml and change the value of <ncpus></ncpus> from -1 to something bogus... for example 25. Then click Boinc Manager... Options... Read config files. The scheduler would think that your host had suddenly 25 processors instead of stock default 12. More computing power - in need of more work.
Thanks for the quick reply!

Thanks for the quick reply! Ok, it sounds like I need to edit the cc_config.xml file. Only problem is that I cannot seem to find it on my computer, its not in the boinc folder or the projects/'einstein.phys.uwm.edu' folder... Should I create one? If so, where should I put it? Could someone please link a full example so I don't screw it up?
Thanks!
It is located in the Boinc

It is located in the Boinc Data directory (the one that you have chosen when installing Boinc). But actually cc_config.xml might not exist there yet. That file is generated when applying some changes on the settings for the first time or something like that. I didn't remember that, sorry.
I believe it will be generated if you temporarily change Event log settings for example. Click Boinc Manager... Options... Event log options. Enable any one of the additional log flags and save. Let's see if it will generate the file.
Thanks! I checked a box in

Thanks! I checked a box in the event log, then cc_config.xml appeared. Then set the ncpus to 64, works like a charm! Thanks again!
Goodness me! Your machine is

Goodness me! Your machine is reported as having three Radeon VII GPUs. I'm aware that BOINC does not always report multi-GPU machine inventory fully. Are all three of yours VIIs? That is an awesome amount of Einstein power in one box, and could hope to get well above your already very impressive RAC of 3.5 million if it runs smoothly and full-time.

It also means everyone else running the same tasks will now get them validated ALOT faster!!! BUT the OP will be waiting on those of us with slower gpu's.
