"No appropriate assignment"?

[256304]

The client is not picking up any WU and I've tried setting the cpus active from 1 to 9
This happened a week ago. I removed FAH, reinstalled and it was working. I had to leave and set the client to finish the current WU. It did and since then, It does not download any WU.

Thank you for any help with this.

Bill,
Seeing this line in your log:
00:06:47:I1:Default:Added new work unit: cpus:1 gpus:

It looks like you only have 1 cpu assigned for FAH. You’ll need at least 2 to get a work unit.
The M4 should give you good performance. I see about 600K PPD with 8 cores.
You’ll need to adjust settings in the web client and save the new config.

At least 3

I think I found a workaround. After logging in, even though the client is trying to get WUs, I clicked pause all, waited a few seconds, clicked Fold All. Now it's downloading and processing a WU. There seems to be an issue with getting the WU when cpu setting at 1 cpu. Maybe. I upped it to 4, it started downloading. I tried backing it down to 1 and it's still working, but settled on 2 cpus. It's running at 104,000ppd
What are your thoughts?
Thanks.

Thoughts are you don't play with CPU thread count every 5 minutes
Set it to 3 as a minimum and leave it at that.
CPU:1 will not get you any work
CPU:2 will very very rarely get any work
CPU:3 will get you work

Thanks! Sage advice, musiqaz
What's your rig and temperatures?
