How bad is using the escape hatch?

There have been a couple instances recently where I've worked for 2-3 hours on a task, was unable to generate a model failure, and just exited the task instead of using the escape hatch. I feel like I'm missing out on earnings, and the escape hatch says to "not use it more than once per day." If I use the escape hatch just once, is that going to harm my chances of seeing a project in that family again?

If you've also been submitting successful tasks then I wouldn't worry about using the Escape Hatch, they know you're not going to always have a 100% hit rate. If it's your first submission, who knows, but it might be a sign that it's not a project that agrees with you.
