Did I reach the reputation cap or not?

Will the reputation I retrospectively gain count toward my "rep cap" badge?

Should the interaction of downvotes and over-the-cap votes be more predictable?

Rep-Capped, Keeps Answering

How did I get this bit of reputation after I hit the repcap?
Between the upvote that gave you the extraneous 2 reputation and the one before it, you had cast two downvotes. They were both on the same post, and they were both retracted shortly after you cast the …

Rep cap reached but not counted towards Legendary badge
As indicated by the FAQ, only unupvotes and unaccepts affect the day they occurred. Because downvotes are not considered in any way for those badges, undownvotes are also ignored for it.

Earning reputation by downvoting?

Mysterious missing upvote with blank score
