How does “Reputation” work?

My question has 46 upvotes --- that should make 200+ rep. I've only gained about 150. What gives? I haven't hit the daily 200-rep gap ever. I know that for sure since I set the bounty to nicely even out my rep to 3000.

A bug or something else? For instance, my rep changes for Feb 21 describes +60 rep for upvotes but my question received 13 upvotes (65 rep).

Similar to this question but I didn't hit the rep gap before offering bounty.

  • Basically yes, there is a cap on reputation 200 points from votes per day. Points from acceptances and bounties aren't capped.

If you expand the detail on that post, you'll see that "13 votes" correspond to 12 upvotes (+60) + a bounty (-350). So the totals displayed are correct here.

Also, the reputation cap is per day. Votes on your question spanned many days, as shown in your profile.

  • Thanks. Didn't consider a bounty a 'vote'. Neither was the rep cap really about the daily one. Because the votes have been split to multiple days, what's the reason for rep loss?
