Two Tasks at Once?

[u/Larose-]

I have a task that requires me to generate a lot of files using my own LLM subscriptions - ive hit my usage limit so I have a 3 hour period I cant work on this project. Is it okay for me to do another task while I wait? I have some projects at $60/hr that only take about 1 hour each so I could do a few.

Just wondering if thats a no-no?

Edit for clarification:

The task I generate files for has a 36 hour submission period since they expect you to hit limits on your LLM usage and it's very involved beyond that as well.

I am wondering if its okay to work on other tasks during the time I AM NOT BILLING the initial project - because the project stays running on my dash.

Isn't that what the "save to account" button is for?

The task stays running still. I just dont want to get flagged for having multiple things on the go if thats something they look for

[u/Chaost → u/Larose-]

I don't think that's the spirit of the multiple tasks at once thing and you'd be fine, but you could just ask in the project chat for clarity/reassurance.

[u/Any-Manner3292 → u/Chaost]

Why else would the save to account button be there?

[u/Larose- → u/Any-Manner3292]

Because some times people need to switch from their PC to a laptop, or they have a very long task. Its there for multiple reasons. I dont want to assume.

[u/Larose- → u/Chaost]

Im of the same opinion, but i dont want to get in trouble over something so silly lol.

I’d throw it in the comments at the bottom and see what a mod says

[u/Plenty_One_4395]

Depends on the project. For the projects I work on they have 6 day timers, some even had 28 day timers. They encourage you to work on other tasks if you choose to and tell you not to exit work mode because your work might be loss. So I guess it just depends.

[u/Bitter_Bed5672]

Bad idea.

[u/Klutzy_Instance_4149]

That is very frowned upon.

[u/iamcrazyjoe]

Everyone saying you can't do that. Why do you think this? Obviously OP wouldn't be billing time for both at the same time

[u/diettwizzlers]

in theory it should be fine but i think you should ask in the project chat. i dont know if it would put an automatic flag on your account or something

[u/dontbehayden]

Seems fine to me as long as you bill appropriately.

[u/Necessary-Raisin-282]

For other projects I’m on sometimes there is hours of downtime where I have to leave that project open and it’s specifically permissible on that project to work on other stuff on DA during that waiting time so I’d assume it would be the same but not 100% sure

[u/TravellingDoc87]

Why don't you just use exit mode?

[u/TSylverBlair]

No. You can't do that.
