In a future version, would it be possible to add a feature to reset the "debts" between each project? (e.g.- If, for some reason, Einstein has run for 30+ hours more than Asteroids in the past two weeks, 'reset' them back to near-equivalent run times)
BOINC (for Android) 8.0.0

Put in a request in the BOINC GitHub developers site. They usually do not read the messages here.

The devs don't currently use the term "debt" (although it was present in earlier versions). They use a concept called REC instead.

Users of the desktop versions of BOINC have access to a configuration option:

<rec_half_life_days>X</rec_half_life_days>
A project's scheduling priority is determined by its estimated credit in the last X days. Default is 10; set it larger if you run long high-priority jobs.
I don't think that one's included in the limited number of configuration tools made available in Android. You might get a better response if you phrase it as a leveling-up request: "Why can't I do what other users can do?"
