After a quick calculation, I realized it should have taken about 1h and few minutes to complete the 4 character space at 4*940 p/s, but it's no big deal. I'm just very surprised the ETA can be so wrong on a short session. May be it's too short to get the opportunity to adjust, as I've seen in previous multi-day sessions.

Thanks for those informations.

I've tried with a 7 digits mask and had the same behavior: reached "100%" in about 10 minutes and displayed N/A until it really finished after 44 minutes (total).

I've launched another session with a 8 digits mask, and so far, the ETA seems correct:

--mask=[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]

-> 10^8/(4*930*3600) ~ 7 hours and 30 minutes
-> 44% of 7h30 is about 3h20

looks coherent.
