Failure of budget access/allocation validation

[oma]

Hello,

I've been trying to run the UM with a case that usually runs fine. So far I had been requesting up to 1 hr to complete the job. Yesterday I requested 4 hrs and it didn't work. Then I asked 1 hr again but the same sort of error message keeps appearing. The following lines represent all the .leave file

Would it be possible that n02-weat does not have any more available time? What can I be doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help,

The time allocation for n02-weat has been increased. Your job should go through now.

Hi Grenville,

Thank you for increasing the time allocation for n02-weat. However, I've tried to submit the job again and I got the following weird message:

This is a known problem at Hector and the work around is simply to resubmit.
