When does the "new day" begin for rep points?

Question

Yesterday I did achieve the 200 rep points allowed for a day.

A few minutes ago I posted an answer to A-Z and got this! "You earned 0 rep for being voted up on an answer to A - Z Game - Multi-syllable Words (7 mins ago) "

Is my new day starting later than now? If so, When? If that made sense? Gracias.

Answer 1

I agree that it seems to be a ''rolling'' day. However, you can determine for yourself, when your current 24 hour time frame ends for your 200 point max.

You can scroll back through your rep points pages until you get to points labeled ''1 day ago'', then scroll forward until you see when you first earned rep points less than 1 day ago.

For example, if I'm at my 200 point max for my current 24 hours time frame, I could go back until I found points labeled 1 day ago, and then I could scroll forward and until I found that after one day ago, I first earned 10 points 22 hours ago, then in approximately 2 hours from now I should be able to earn another 10 points.

Does that make any sense? I know it sounds confusing, but it seems to work.

I think I follwed you, and I think I've got an hour to go!! Gracias. - bandit51jd, Jul 28, 2010

Answer 2

The "day" is a rolling 24 hour period.

In other words it is the most recent 24 hours and not an actual day like Monday or Tuesday.

Hope this helps you understand.

I think it is different for everyone, I know for me it fluctuates wildly. It depends on your individual activity and votes from day to day on the site.
