WPA2 - 3/4 Digests recovered - Exhausted

[Dawbs]

Hi,

I'm a little new to hashcat so my apologies if I have mis-understood anything.

I have ran an attack on a wpa2 capture, (single capture) using the mask of 8 uppercase characters. 
At around 75% of the way through I noticed the "Recovered" had changed to Recovered...: 3/4 Digests which I assumed was a good sign that all was good. (note: this could have been 3/4 from the start)
Eventually it completed at 100% but with a status......: exhausted and no output password.

My Questions..
Is this correct and the password wasn't 8 uppercase characters?
What about the 3/4 Digests? I'm of the understanding that this means it has cracked 3 hashes somewhere.
Have I messed the command up somewhere?
Should I have set an output file?

Command used:
Hashcat64.exe -m 2500 -a 3 capture.hccapx ?u?u?u?u?u?u?u?u

Thankyou so much in advance for any help

Hashcat64.exe -m 2500 -a 3 capture.hccapx ?u?u?u?u?u?u?u?u --show
and surprise!!!!!!

[philsmd]

according to this wiki/faq page, you shouldn't use --show together with additional/unnecessary command line options, like -a 3 and a mask:
https://hashcat.net/faq#how_can_i_show_p...ilpassword

it will work, but makes no sense. According to those instruction it should be only

Code:

hashcat64.exe -m 2500 --show capture.hccapx

Strike/Phil, You pair of legends

I had tried the --show but didn't put the hash type and file name in. Many Thanks
