Naw. It didn't cost you or us anything. Running a non-CPU project is not "in place of" credits from another project that you could theoretically be running instead. That kind of thinking applies only to CPU and GPU projects. There is no possible loss of credits by running non-CPU projects. Only up-side. You are getting all the CPU and GPU credits on all those other projects just like normal, PLUS maybe credits from any number of non-CPU projects.

Also, I have noticed that the run time displayed by BOINC for these plagiarism tasks is not yet accurate. For example, several days ago, I saw several tasks that each showed over 24 hours running. I know for a fact that they could not have been running that long, since I have aborted all tasks just 6 hours earlier. So I would ignore the information displayed by BOINC manager for this project for now.
