What time zone do the rep points reset?

Question

I live in Japan, so I wonder if my reputation points are reset during the time zone of my computer or the "time zone of SpanishDict".

Answer 1

From what I see, the points are not "reset" for either day, week, or month. Rather, I think they're using a current cumulative sum, i.e., for "day", it's whatever points total the system finds since exactly 24 hrs ago. I don't see the "day" number reset, but just drop according to that 24-hr ago basis. If you tend to gather your points during your usual active period (for example, right after dinner), then your "day" points will seem to stick around until your next "active" period (next day sometime after dinner).

 

I tend to spread out my active time around the clock, so I tend to see my "day" total get reduced by smaller chunks, and never "reset" all at once.

It appears to be a rolling 24-hour period. - KevinB, Oct 19, 2010

That's what I was going to say, but "rolling" is an idiom perhaps not everyone would know. - pesta, Oct 19, 2010

Answer 3

This has been puzzling me for a while , I have watched it like a hawk and have

noticed it takes ages stuck on 200 while one gets no points for anything ,

but I think it goes down very slowly in my night time , which would not be much
