It mentioned about disk usage limit exceeded, but I have around 40GB of disk space allowed for BOINC, while peak disk usage is just 12.02 MB. Is there any reason as to what happened

<core_client_version>8.2.11</core_client_version>

Thanks both for reporting this — found it.

The Keraunos work units' disk-usage bound was set too tight: 10MB, while the GPU build's real peak usage (checkpoint file + distinguished-point table) is closer to 12MB. Once actual usage crossed that estimate, BOINC's client correctly aborted the task with "Disk usage limit exceeded" — not a fault on your end.

Fixed: raised the bound to 200MB for all new work units, and also updated it retroactively on all ~10,000 work units already in the queue, so this shouldn't hit anyone still waiting on pending tasks either. Let us know if it recurs.
