I got 10K at the 12PM update where I usually get some 2.5K/period. :cool: I checked a couple of other sites including this one and it seems that some folk got extra points too. I never noticed a recent downturn in points so I wonder where they came from?:shrug: None of the regular blogs have any info either. Oh well, I'll take it.:bday::D :beer:
 
You need to check how many units you returned in the time period. Sometimes the client has problems retuning results and keeps them in queue while going onto a new unit. Then later on several units can get returned at once and you get a big spike.

No spikes for me. Mine is steady as she goes.
 
I hit pretty big at the noon update as well. Probably a backlog of units that went to a server that wasn't communicating with the stats server, or something similar. Happens from time to time. You probably didn't notice because it was only a WU or two a day for a while.

Ya, that sounds about right as I also got an a1 a few days ago, had some power issues so I could have well attributed it to all that. still a nice little present.;)
 
I believe its the return of lost points that occurred a few weeks ago when one of the servers malfunctioned. :bday:

We just ran a recredit for this server. Sufficient information for the bonus was not captured, so we gave all work units a 2x bonus."
