The new GAIA 7 work units are running longer and paying less

Old work units ran from 2 to 3 hours and paid a fixed credit of 200 points

New work units are taking 4 hours or more and paying varying amounts like 160,44 and 153,72 which seems like Credit New values

But still glad for the work, thanks for securing that.

A good portion of my tasks are 200.00 while others seem like CreditNew. No idea why some have a static credit while others vary.

The run times are a lot longer than before.

200 on the old ones with shorter run times, so something a bit more for these longer task maybe?

Thanks zupa

That is fine if the work units run the same length of time.

These don't, they are taking 2 to 5 times as long to run, so the credits should be increased in line with that, if that is possible

Thanks
