Did I reach the reputation cap or not?

Yes, you did. I've said this before, but to repeat: the total displayed for the day has absolutely nothing to do with the reputation cap. If you have additional votes counting for 0 on the day, it's b …

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

If the recalculation causes you to reach 200 reputation on new days, then yes, your progress towards the badges will increase. There is no "tick" that gets added to a day when you hit it before. Each …

Upvotes after cap + downvote don't compensate for the downvote

That downvote was reversed on January 16, which caused all your events on the day where the original downvote occurred to be re-calculated. You have 20 votes there that earned you +10 reputation each. …

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

I don't see what the problem is. The final downvote that's being counted occurred after all the previous gain events, therefore the -2 should still stand. By undownvoting, the user is basically cance …

Got serially downvoted after hitting the cap, but did not get everything back

Here is a full breakdown of your reputation history, as I see it on your profile: All of these numbers add up to +233. I can't account for the other 2 reputation, nor can I verify that those are ac …

Rep-Capped, Keeps Answering

How did I get this bit of reputation after I hit the repcap?

Rep cap reached but not counted towards Legendary badge

The system already corrects this on its own. We don't run a recalc on your account every time you change a vote - that's just way too expensive. Instead, whenever your account gets recalculated again …

Deleted User plus Accepted Answers Preventing Max Daily Rep?

Removals are not calculated in the reputation cap. They're merely notices to inform you of why you lost reputation suddenly. The actual recalculation for reputation caps occurs back on the day the vot …
