Was there a recent change to the daily reputation cap, setting one at 230, or is that a sudden bug?

Either way the Help Center is out of date, still reporting a cap of 200 (was there any before the split?).

    Accepted answers don't count towards the cap. Nor do bounties. – Mysticial Apr 19 '14 at 0:13

    @Deduplicator Looking at your reputation yesterday, you had quite a bit of rep gained in accepted answers. That's where it came from. – hichris123 Apr 19 '14 at 0:16

The cap is still 200, however the 15-point reward given for having your answer Accepted is exempt from this cap - so you can exceed the cap by posting answers that are accepted by the askers.

See: What's Reputation?

  • Needed some more of the linked exemptions to explain things, but that explained it. Should have searched on the meta-meta-site. – Deduplicator Apr 19 '14 at 0:23
  • What happens with the +100 association bonus? Is it also exempt? – Matsmath May 2 '16 at 14:49
  • It is, @Matsmath. See: stackoverflow.com/help/whats-reputation – Shog9 May 2 '16 at 20:01
