I crunched my wu until it had more than 230000 steps in the third phase. It trickled successfully at 237000.
Today however it is back at 225000.
Is this behavior normal?

Sounds like it's hit a problem and gone into a recalculation phase. It rewinds 3 times (1 day, 1 month and 1 year) before giving up on the model.

As you're more than 12000 timesteps back from your last trickle it must be on the final recalculation. It's unusual for this to happen so late in the model, but your results are definitely going to be valid if the job doesn't run to completion as they'll tell the project team something about your parameter set.

I lost one a few days ago. It made it as far as it's<a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/trickle.php?resultid=454106"> 59th trickle</a> (t/s 118822 ph3) and started completely over at the begining. After 5 days it finally gave up and got a new WU.
