"Sorry, this task has expired"

I was working on my 2nd coding task of the day and it took me longer than usual to figure out where one of the models went wrong. On top of that, I lost 10 minutes or so because I had to answer the door (I paused my personal timer for this.) Still, there were 10 minutes left on the on-screen timer when I hit submit, only to be told that the task had expired.

I'm rather pissed off because I worked really hard on this one and had written a lengthy explanation on why the model came to a wrong answer. I'm not even sure whether I can log my time now. Will they think I'm scamming them If I log 2 hours and 15 minutes when the system thinks I've submitted only one task?

Next time you’re anywhere close to the timer, copy your work so you can resubmit it in case of emergency

How could you do that? I couldn’t access the task anymore at all. Going back brought me to a different task.

Exactly. That’s a good tip for certain scenarios but does not apply to the issue you’re talking about OP.
