Something clogging up the works this evening? Lots of 100% assignments hanging around having a party.

That started with me sometime in the last day, 10-30-2020. Right now, my Overall Statistics says I have 405 TF assignments. The P-1 numbers are in the normal range: teens. The TF numbers are still going up.
EDIT: "Overall" is back to the usual range. View Assignments is still high, but it always runs behind Overall.

Not related to any of the above, but there's now a warning at the top:

output-height is not a valid annotation. Supported annotations are: vertical-output, run, form-width, display-mode

Rather than silently ignoring settings they used to accept, but don't any longer, they're now presenting these warnings.

Since I'm "radiating", I haven't seen a GPU across any of my 13# Colab accounts since last Wednesday. And even the CPU-only instances last for only about 30 minutes each.

Thanks for all the Factors Google. But, yeah, Colab is effectively dead-in-the-water for GPU72 efforts.

Strange. I have multiple non-gpu72 free Colab sessions going, and some just passed 4 hours of gpu now. A couple others ceased around the 6 hour mark. But I've noticed day of the week seems to matter.

There is words to the effect of "lifetime usage limits". This is what I think is happening with regards to GPUs. On the account attached to my phone I got a T4 for about 45 minutes eariler today. It has far less hours on it than the other account that I have used.

Yeah, but the resolution in the equation granting access is finer than simply each Human has the same Lifetime Usage Limits (LULs (LOL...)).

Just about every other GPU72_Colab Notebook user started having serious constraints well before I personally did. And, somewhat ironically, it was the Paid Tier who got shut-down first.

I think it also has something to do with the Notebook being run, as there are reports of others continuing to have access to Colab GPU access using different code-paths.

And, last data-set... A certain Greg continues to have access to four (4#) GPU72_Colab instances consistently, and others intermittently.

Google, like ${DEITY}, acts in strange ways. Almost quantum (or, at least, intractable)...

Ditto here. I FINALLY get a GPU and this happens. Additionally, at least as of right now, when getting a GPU it ONLY does TF. Not TF and P-1 like it usually does.
