Well looking at the WU, there is nothing which can currently be done about it until you get a wingman who completes the result successfully and forms a quorum. That's just the way BOINC is setup to run on EAH to ensure valid science is getting done.
Unfortunately, it doesn't look loke your current wingman is going to make it either. I see he's running 4.19 for a CC, which most likely explains why he's got so many results onboard a host which can't possibly do them all in time.
In any event, the amount of time a result stays pending does not effect your RAC or any other performance metric long term.

Oh-oh...RAC of < 1 , average turnaround time : 14.3 days (!) ... no, this doesn't look good for that wingman indeed :-(

Of course it doesn't effect RAC, it effects Total C.
RE: RE: Well looking at

Agreed, but with the relaxed replication and error limits currently, the odds are in your favor you will get the credit eventually.
Perhaps it helps to think of it like money in an escrow account. When if finally gets released it almost seems like 'free' credit'. That's what I do when this happens to me. ;-)

I also have a few pending credits, since July 16th.

The strange thing is that other credits, in the mean time, have been granted.
As the Bard would put it: "Erm, what's up, Doc?"

This is normal.
The credits are not granted in the order you claim then, but each result has to be looked at individually. Every E@H task gets sent to two crunchers, and the credit is awarded after both have returned a result (and the results "match" each other (that's the validation process)). There is a deadline for each task (2 to 3 weeks) and if a cruncher doesn't submit a result before that deadline, the task is send to a third cruncher and so on.
So, if you are very unlucky, credits can be pending for a couple of weeks or even a month or longer, if your "wingman" crunchers fail to keep the deadline or turn in invalid results. But this is the exception, usually your wingman meets the deadline and you'll get your credits within max. 2 or 3 weeks.

Well, the good news is your new wingman looks to be reliable and has been working on the result for a few days now. With any luck it should finally go to validation inside of a week. ;-)
