Can someone help explain how bounties should work in this situation:

Automatically build resource class based of XML in Java

The asker didn't award the bounty, but the answer met the criteria for automatic 50% bounty before the grace period. Reading the FAQ, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be awarded.

Nick Craver explains this in Miscalculation of grace period?:

The bounty auto-award job does indeed run once an hour, there may be a gap between when the bounty ends and when that runs that you'll see an oddity like this, it's normal.

  • Yes indeed, patience is a virtue: I just received the full amount. I re-read the bounty FAQ: while the delay isn't mentioned, I now realise that due to the answer being accepted the full bounty would be awarded in any case, but only at the time of expiration. Thanks!
