Any chance in a future update there could be a feature that caps the amount of time Awesome Miner will remain on a single algo when profit switching? For example, if PHI (or any algo) remains most profitable and is mined for say 10 minutes straight (or through 5 consecutive 2min Switching Interval checks) have a setting that would cause AM to switch to the next most profitable algo and put PHI on timeout/cooldown for a configurable amount of time after which the profit switching profile would take it back into consideration. Perhaps per algo in Options -> Online Services a setting like "Max Continuous Mining Duration Before Forced Switch" or "Max Time Active" paired with that a setting that could remove the algo from profit switching consideration for a configurable amount of time if it triggers the previous setting so it doesn't just immediately switch back next Switching Interval check. Either that if per algo is too much to implement, the 2 settings could just apply to all algos and be configured under Options --> Profit Switching right were Switching Interval and Profit switch Threshold are configured

My thinking is that with tuning these settings could help AM from getting stuck on a single algo for too long with a high ttf that isn't finding blocks. Anyway, thanks for the Awesome software and the continuous updates!

I'm confused by this, but I'm sure you have a good reason for wanting this.  This behavior runs counter to what profit-switching is for.  I think Patrike has said he would look into adding profit-switching triggers and actions, so maybe this could be set in a future version.
