I usually gain 180~250 credit per task, but on one of the jobs, I recently received a mere 20 on one.
The task's log reveals some kind of loading error, which I have no idea about:

Output exists: default.out.gz Size: WARNING! cannot get file size for default.out.gz: could not open file.
-1
InternalDecoyCount: 0 (GZ)

Writing W_0000001

DONE :: 1 starting structures 43619.1 cpu seconds
This process generated 1 decoys from 1 attempts
======================================================

Is this an issue of data degradation or application error?

I do not plan to make a fuss about an imaginary score for some work that my CPU did in spare time. At the same time, it also feels undeserved and I hope to understand why such a thing might happen.

It looks like the task never reached the end of a model. It tried to use a lot of memory and was eventually shut down by the watchdog. So, a fluke with the task it would seem.
