Hi Team, I am trying to run a suite for 1 day to test some new restart files. The suite is a HadGEM3‐GC3.1‐LL set-up. I ran the job yesterday lunchtime and it spent a long time in the queue. The suite has completed all the tasks and it waiting to run the coupled step. It has been in the queue since midnight but not yet run. Is this something weird on my end or is there just a lot of demand at the moment? Thanks! Penny ---

Hi Penny, 12-14th May is ARCHER2 Capability Days so turnaround for standard jobs is currently very slow. Regards, Ros ---
