Basically normal for right now. You might later have something running on your CPU and be waiting for a GPU assignment.

Curious, what are they currently being served at? After a brief surge of work available around when you posted, my F@H has gone idle ever since.

104,000 assigns/hour right now! https://apps.foldingathome.org/serverstats
F@h is now the top computing platform on the planet and nothing unites people like a dedicated fight against a common enemy. This virus affects all of us. Lets end it together.

I'm also having this issue, the weird thing is that when I uninstall and install again, I get WU right away. I don't know if it is something with my pc or F@H servers, but it is kinda weird. If anyone knows what might be causing this, I would appreciate it!

Specs:
i7 6700k
GTX 1070
16GB RAM

Thanks!

You may just be running int the shortage of WU's that can be assigned, there are more requests for than can be filled. Leaving the computer going for a while should eventually get it an assignment. To avoid everyone connecting at once after a server outage such as from a power failure, the client waits an increasing amount of time between requests. Works fairly well for server outages, not quite as well for this situation, but is what is encoded into the client.

If the time between retries gets too long, several hours, you can pause the client for a minute or two and the start again. This resets the counter, but to keep from contributing to the overload on the servers please do not overuse.
