Not getting any new units

(moderation:
E@H was hogging all the processing so I used the "No new work" button to make it give up some resource to other processes. Then I pressed "Allow new work". I pressed the "Update" button, but E@H refuses to request any new units. The messages I get are:

What am I missing? As far as I can tell, all my account settings are ok.

what version of BOINC? What OS?
Have you recently upgraded BOINC? What are your resource shares? What is your connect every X days setting? etc etc, so on and so forth.

A request for 0 second of

A request for 0 second of work means one of three things:
The computer has too much work on hand already to meet deadlines reliably.
The project has enough work on hand, and the computer is not desperate for work.
The project has used too much CPU time for its resource share recently and is blocked from requesting more for a while.
In all of these cases, the best thing to do is to leave it alone, and it will fetch more work when it is ready.

No new work without work on
)
No new work without work on the host is treated as a suspend, and the LT debt is not changed (except to counteract drift from having a median of 0). You should have just let it do its thing as the scheduler was not going to let E@H download work for a while any way to make up for the extra CPU time that it was using to meet the deadline.

Thank you all. Apparently it

Thank you all. Apparently it decided about 20 minutes ago that it was time to get back to doing some E@H work :-)
