[slurm-users] My quota with slurm does not change

[Castellana Michele]

Dear all,
I have an account on a computer cluster with slurm. In theory, my account comes with a finite number of hours. However, it seems that computed hours are not taken into account by slurm:

$squota
Account       Usage      Quota  Available
user-high     50      10000       99950
user-low      301     200000     199699

Then run a job with script run.slurm

#!/bin/sh
#SBATCH --time=24:00:00
#SBATCH --partition=short
#SBATCH --nodes=1
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=1
time ./code.o

and execute

$sbatch run.slurm


The job completes succesfully:

$cat slurm-xxxxx.out

code completed
user   164m59.712s
….

and here is what I get if I check the quota after the job run

$squota
Account       Usage      Quota  Available
user-high     50      10000       99950
user-low      301     200000     199699

The time unit in squota is hours, and I have checked that squota does not change also for way longer jobs, and that it does not change even if I wait several weeks after the job has finished.

Do you think that the scheduler is not taking account of the hours that I consume, i.e., that I can use as many hours as I want?

Thank you.
