Earlier today, on another SE site, I casted 40 votes, so I reached my "Daily up/down vote limit". Because of that, I also see a message like "Daily up/down vote limit reached; come back in X hours." for the review queues "First posts" (/review/first-posts
) and "Late Answers" (late-answers/stats
). So far no problem.
Later on today, 1 of the posts which I voted on (via 1 of my 40 votes from today) got edited. After that, I performed an unupvote
for that post (which is possible after a post is edited). After I did so, I went back to check the review queues (at /review
) to verify if I'd still have that message like "Daily up/down vote limit reached; come back in X hours.". Sure enough, that message was still there (and it's still there right now, many hours later).
A few minutes after I casted those 40 votes, I also went to check the total number of the votes I casted this week already, via /users?tab=Voters&filter=week
. And a few minutes ago (= many hours later), I went back to check this /users?tab=Voters&filter=week
again, since I was curious to see if an unupvote
causes the number of votes I casted this week to be recalculated or not (somewhere in the minutes/hours after it happened). And sure enough: the number of votes I casted this week is now reduced with exactly 1. So far no problem, seems to work as it should.
But, as per this recalculation, it appears to me like the number of votes I casted today is 40-1=39
, so I have the impression I have 1 vote left for today. But if that is the case, then "Daily up/down vote limit reached; come back in X hours." does no longer apply. Nevertheless, I still get that "Daily up/down vote limit reached; come back in X hours." message in the 2 above mentioned review queues (the only difference is that the value of X went down ...).
Am I missing something, or is this to be considered as a bug?
PS: I haven't checked how my number of monthly/yearly/overall votes evolved today.
