Hi, I was trying to run a UM12.0 suite after a gap of some two months in Puma2 - Archer2. Initially I had to follow the instructions in [Restarting after puma2 reboot](https://cms-helpdesk.ncas.ac.uk/t/restarting-after-puma2-reboot/2072) But after that I am getting error “submit-failed”. I have been trying to run the suite: **u-cq224\_TestToday2**. The suite used to run successfully till March this year. I believe my project access to Archer2 is valid until July this year. Please can you advice me what is going wrong. Thanks, Timmy ---

Hi Timmy, All NERC HPC allocations reset at the end of March. Was a request for continued HPC resource put in? I see you are using the budget code `e721-guest`. It’s not a normal n02 budget. I’m assuming it’s somehow attached to an n02 budget - do you know which? Grenville, has retired and I’m not sure of the history to how this budget code was setup. Regards, Ros ---

Ah OK - I think I vaguely remember - this is TOZCA? `e721-guest` is a guest budget, which allows your `n02` user account access to resources under the `e721` budget. Can you ask the manager of the `e721-guest` budget to check that there are available resources in this budget code please? ---

Hi Rosalyn, Thank you for your kind reply. Yes this is TOZCA budget allocation. I notice that in **e721-guest** it is showing 0.0 CUs when I login to SAFE - but I am aware that there is more budget in e721 which can be moved to e721-guest from the manager’s end, which I will request him tomorrow. But my concern is if the budget that was already available in **e721-guest** somehow **got reset to 0.0 CUs** during the NERC HPC allocations reset at the end of March? Because I was under the impression that there were some CUs left in February end, when I last performed the UM runs from e721-guest. Please can you check this also. Thanks, Timmy ---

Hi Timmy, `e721-guest` won’t have been zero’d as a result of the NERC HPC allocations reset. I’m afraid I have no idea on what cycle period e721 allocations get reset - maybe they are also March end?? Or even April?? The e721 manager will be able to tell you what has happened. Cheers, Ros ---
