Error in checker

It seems to me it's a very tricky (old) challenge. Anyway, I keep getting an error message:

Thanks. (Hi Hugh! sorry can't umlaud)

Interesting, the checker works fine for me with your username. (You've done step 1-5 according to the result I'm getting.)

Sadly still not working for me. (I didn't expect to fulfill it, just checking how far I managed to get!) I've never had this issue on Project GC. :-(

Screenshot attached. Or not... I don't have a place to host it. Copy pasting the text:

I asked about this in the discord. It looks like the issue is that the script is using many bookmark-lists, these get stored on the servers for a short while and therefor the second run of the username shortly after is more likely to succeed (since it already has the lists).

Interesting, as I did run it several times in case the first one was just a random error.

I'm not a super high finds cacher either so it seems so odd.

If anyone runs it successfully, I'd be happy to be sent the results (or post here). Again though, just curious since I know I don't qualify.

[edit] p.s. Just went to the checker link and got this: "Error. As a non paying user you are only allowed 10 checker runs per day." So I guess people have been checking for me as I only ran it once or twice yesterday (when I posted a reply), and haven't run anything today! Sigh.

That's not how the system works. You get to run 10 checker runs per day, any name, any checker. A paid user could run your name 100 times in the checker and you'd still get to run it in the same checker, as long as you haven't ran any other names in any other checkers eating up your checker runs.

Your results are these:

Huge thanks for the results Pleu. I understand about the lists, it's just that it didn't work for me running it again after the first attempt, which sounds like it's an anomaly.

It could be a combination of issues. I don't have insight in how things work "under the hood" but I think it's mentioned somewhere that paid membership gives you priority in some areas when asking for data, so it could be something like that which happens to make my run being a second faster and therefor being able to finis before it runs out of time.

And it's not because of your amount of finds, it's because of all the bookmark lists the script uses to determine the "Themed collection"-caches.

Oh yes, I totally understood that, thank you. Really appreciate your help for something this trivial. Very grateful!
