At other times, however, it gets into a "state". When I run a manual update, it says "Not reporting
or requesting tasks" even though there are very few available in my queue, or even if I bump it up
to 10 days and update the preferences. It still says "Not reporting or requesting tasks". Then,
eventually, all of a sudden, it "switches", and starts downloading like crazy, and gets a page and a
half of tasks in a minute or so. Can anyone help me understand this behavior? What is it waiting
for?

Has it got any failed uploads it's waiting to retry? I've noticed mine
doesn't even attempt to fetch more work if it's having trouble
uploading work already completed but as soon as it's managed to upload
everything it does start fetching again.
