# Running Multiple Programs or Tasks

If you have a lot of GPU intensive background tasks running while processing renders on the Render Network, it may lead to job failures that will hurt your reputation score. 

As a result, we recommend connecting your node to the Render Network only when you are able to commit most of your GPU, RAM, and CPU resources to the Render Network. \
Mining multiple networks simultaneously or running background programs will lead to excessive failures and **potential quarantining of your node.**

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Any nodes that are&#x20;*****inactive*****&#x20;for&#x20;*****3 months or more*****&#x20;will be considered "**<mark style="color:red;">**expired**</mark>**" and&#x20;*****removed from the Network*****, and expired operators will&#x20;*****need to reapply*****&#x20;to the waitlist in order to have their nodes considered for re-entry onto the Network. Please see subsection 1.8 of the Node Operator (FKA "Miner") Terms of Agreement for justification, whereby the Network can revoke operator access at any time.**
