I asked some people in the BOINC discord server about this error, and they said that its a project-backed error. So it is not the device's fault. Lets hope the developers would fix it.
Edit: I also set my BOINC client to not accept any work from central until they fix it so it won't waste CPU time.

Also, this seems to be a linux only issue as wus on windows cannot detect the cpu time so they dont exceed the time limit.
I've run some of those tasks on windows and they take up to seven hours. Maybe bumping the time limit or just remove it will help.
