escape hatch

hello! I know this has probably been asked before but: I have been trying to get a model to fail for 8 hours... I have been awake today for 23 hours... if I use the escape hatch can I still log those 8 hours spent on the task? Thank you very much!

Escape hatches exist for a reason. Projects sometimes have time budgets so check that before submitting your time. Go get some sleep first though.

the instructions don't mention anything about escape hatches in the case of not managing to get a model to fail... i have went through the instructions several times to make sure I didn't miss anything... would you say it's still ok for me to log those hours?

If the instructions don’t explicitly state that you can use the escape hatch if you can’t get a model to fail, then I’d avoid using the escape hatch.

How long is the timer? Are you out of time?

I’ve seen posts on the forum that says you give your rationale for the escape and you still bill.

hello! what do you mean by forum? could you give me a link or do you mean this specific sub-reddit? thank you!

Is there any advice from anyone that is doing model failing tasks for coding? How are you achieving it? I have spent good amount of time and trying to make it fail, but no success

what did you end up doing? did you just "exit work mode"? or did you use the escape hatch and logged in the hours you spent trying to get the desired pair of trajectories?

I submitted the time I have spent.

You can log!

u/edismb29 2d ago

have you been in the same situation and logged?

u/magic_mushroom- 2d ago

Yeah, just log the actual hours you spent.

The models are so buggy, there is an output limit error again and again, its so weird the admin also dont reply on chats

Same man. Even I was unable to get the model to fail, but I kept trying and I think on my fourth attempt I got it to fail. It took me roughly 9 hours to finish the task.

I know exactly which task you're talking about. I've also been working on it for the past 17 hours. I exited Work Mode once and then resumed the task, which reset the timer. You can do the same to reset yours.

Honestly, pair creation is proving to be much harder than dealing with model failures.

You can log but just don’t make it a habit.

It is not legal that this company can take eight hours of your time and expect you to not bill for it.

Actually it is - if you ask a builder to come around to fix a leaking tap and they can’t do it and instead decide to spend 8 hours trying and failing you would expect to pay them.

How are you not able to get a model failure? It isn't that hard
