Are/have you been running MCM exclusively? And have you seen a slow down in the validation of work units? MCM require what is referred to as a wingman to validate the work units. Leading up to challenges, you will see numerous people deploying a tactic called bunkering where they load up their machines with a ton of work and then sit on the finished results waiting for the event to start so that they can dump all of the extra results during the challenge time frame. So, it is very possible a lot of your work was getting validated at a later time. Another possibility is that the points for work shifts slightly over time as part of the credit system used. You will find that for one person one type of work unit may pay better than for another person. The next day another work unit type may pay slightly better. In the end they kind of evens out.
not exclisively, there are few other tasks like:

but i was not using bunkering and i have big tasks queue, about 1000 tasks/machine so i'm not suffering from not having tasks
we will see during next days
Just to be clear, I'm not implying that you are having trouble getting tasks. I'm saying the MCM tasks that you complete require a second person to also complete that work unit to verify it. No points are awarded until the work unit is returned AND verified. So, if someone else is bunkering, they may not return their work until their 10 day deadline approaches. Thus you may not have credit for your completed work units until they return theirs. IF they didn't complete on time, then someone else will be sent work units (typically a 4 day deadline) and then you have to wait for them to complete it and return it. So, in some instances you may have to wait up to 2 weeks or more to get the credit. When someone bunkers thousands of work units all at once, there is a possibility that several of your work units are not verified until they turn theirs in. That is why I was asking. If you look at each work unit on the WCG website, you can sort your work units by what is pending verification and pending validation (different scenarios). If your pendings have grown, it is probably from bunkering this large challenge.
If it isn't the pending work, then it is possible that the large amounts of people focusing on the WCG Birthday Challenge may be a case where the credits are adjusting based on other hardware being brought online. WCG uses a form of the Credit New credit system with a few modification the last I knew. Which means over time the points will adjust based on everyone else.
