BOINC has been stalled for some weeks with the message scheduler request pending requested by project communication deferred"
Running latest version 7.16.21, MacOS 12.3 Monterey. Project is "World Community Grid"
Log (included beo9w) shows nothing current.
There are no other programs running, no reason for BINC to think CPU is busy.
Have restarted the app and the computer multiple times. Have reinstalled BOINC multiple times.
How can I get BOINC to resume computation?

How can I get BOINC to resume computation?

Wait until WCG starts working again. :)

See this thread: World Community Grid has announced an extended outage from Feb 14 to April 22, 2022

Thanks, I now see the restart has been delayed again to May 25.
