Project 10495 (3,41,37) Trending to exceed time alloted

On my computer Project 10495 (3,41,37) started out with my estimate that I would finish under 3 days. Now it looks like my ETA is 2.67 days and the allotm,ent is 2.59. Is there a way I can ensure getting points still since it is so close to being completed? The machine is being used exclusively for folding. This is the second time I have seen this in the last month. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time. sputnikim

Does your computer fold nearly 24x7 or does it spend a significant percentage of the time hibernating, powered-off, or otherwise not running FAH?
The final deadline for Project 10495 is 3.0 days after it was downloaded. If it can't be completed by then it will most likely be dumped.
The preferred deadline is 2.0 days, when means that after you've had the WU on your machine for that long, an identical WU will be issued to someone else so that the project can continue without interruption. If you both return the WU within 3.0 days, you'll both get credit although science will really only use the first one returned. (The science will proceed when either of you return the WU.)
