I just went ahead and voted on some questions, answers and comments on UX. Upon voting on an answer, notification said exactly this: You have 5 votes left today. And when I voted 5 more times on questions/answers, I had some votes for comments left, apparently, which I then used up too.

Technically, I still had votes after the Daily vote limit reached. Vote again in 22 hours message appeared. Those votes were comment votes. It wasn't clear enough. I was in doubt, so I decided to upvote another comment and succeeded. After a few more times, "vote limit reached" appeared again, now in regard to comment votes, but with no such explicit mention.

So do I have votes left or do I not?

  • Honestly though, who cares? If you've reached your vote limit on anything, you've done your job; now, the purpose of the vote limit in the first place is to encourage you to do something else. Go outside and smell some flowers or watch a sunset...

    @AaronBertrand Well, it would make more sense if it said the type of vote in the message though. It would be less confusing anyway.

  • Meh, I think if you clicked on a comment up vote icon, and you got that message, it shouldn't be all that confusing that it's about comment votes. shrug

Comment votes and post votes are two separate things.

You can use up all of your comment votes and still have post votes left. Same vice-versa.

In your case, you hit the post vote limit, but you still had comment votes left over. Then you upvoted comments, and had no comment votes left.
