The Pioneer program's points were nearing a snapshot. Verification on the task platform had failed for several days. The official check narrowed the apparent source of the problem but did not verify anyone's tasks.

The Pioneer program's points were nearing a snapshot. People doing tasks needed the platform to verify their work before they could feel sure it would count. Meanwhile, Sisyphus had removed price watching from his routine to give himself some room to breathe.
Verification on the task platform had failed for several days. Some participants feared their points would expire before the snapshot and asked whether to keep retrying or wait for a fix. Officials checked their own side and said they found no problem there; for now they could only wait for the platform provider to repair it. Sisyphus had gone a week without checking the market and said only, “I feel much better.” Two kinds of waiting met on this day: one tied to points, the other a deliberate step away from prices.
The official check narrowed the apparent source of the problem but did not verify anyone's tasks. The narrator planned to remind participants to keep records of work already done and watch for the platform's repair notice, rather than treating repeated clicks as a solution. Whether verification would work before the snapshot remained open. Sisyphus's decision had changed his own routine, but it did nothing to lift the deadline facing others.
