And if we read the above summary so we can see some limitations - for example:

============

MetaTrader 5 Help → MQL5 Cloud Network → How to Participate - Restrictions of Participation on MQL5 Cloud Network

There are several limitations of participation on MQL5 Cloud Network:

An agent should have at least 768 MB of available physical memory to perform calculations.
To connect your agents to the MQL5 Cloud Network, the computer where the agents are installed must have at least 2048MB of RAM.
The agent's productivity index (PR) should not be less than 50.
Agents installed on a virtual machine cannot participate in MQL5 Cloud Network.
Agents having PR below 100 are not used in genetic optimization in order not to slow down the calculation process. The reason is that the calculation is performed by generations (256 passes). While one generation is not calculated, calculation of the next one cannot start. Even if a single pass out of 256 ones is calculated by a low PR agent, the total calculation speed is reduced.
An agent will not be able to receive new tasks from the MQL5 Cloud Network if the free disk space on the computer where the agent is installed falls below 500MB.
Agents do not receive tasks from the cloud network in case the PC they are installed at is powered by a battery (it refers to laptops).
