Hi, I can think of two possibilities:
1. Prince doesn't resume optimally. This means if you ran from 1-1000
and then paused and resumed, it may not continue at 1001 but way earlier
such as 750. This mmeans you just have to let it run now, and it will
catch up to the correct point and crack things again.
2. The Prince mode usually cracks a lot from start and then fewer and
fewer. Actually to an extent that surprises me, but anyway it's normal.
You could opt to restart it with some other wordlist. Or perhaps try the
--prince-loopback mode instead!
