what's your favorite food? No seriously, what is the upvote length of time before resetting. I get 3 cents and it is down to 2 cents.. now my voting power is around like 50%. So what happens when it runs out. I have zero? When does it reset.. I think you can tell where I am going with this. Hope so ..haha :)

You can always vote as much as you want. There is no hard limit where you'd get a message like 'You've ran out of votes.' The vote power % is what creates more of a 'soft limit.'

So specifically to your question.

• Every 24 hours we regenerate 20% vote power % (this is continuous vs being at a specific time...so roughly 1% an hour.)
• Each full, 100% vote (from the slider bar) we cast since the latest hard fork reduces out vote power % by 2%. (before the HF it deducted 0.5%.
• So to keep you vote % up there...we can cast 10 - 100% votes, 20-50% votes, or a 1000-1% votes and still have the regen rate keep up. Vote more than this and it will drop over time.

Your vote power % is what determines how much of the MAX $ you give when upvoting a post (as well as curation rewards you would earn.) So if you gave 10 cents at 100% vote power %, you'd give 5 cents at 50% and 1 cent at 10%.

OMG lol.. I will have to reread this after 100 cups of coffee .. what?? ok.. I will think on this one .. so quit voting for 24 hours and it goes back to 100%?

Let me see if I can help with this @rebeccabe.

Steemd.com/(insert username with @) is a good site to check your VOTING POWER.

Every 24 hours 20% of your power is restored.

Say you're at 60% voting power now, it would take 48 hours of zero votes to get back to 100%

Why would we want 100% voting power? It gives maximum $ value to upvoted post.
Mine is (ahem) at $0.20 at 100%, but if im at 20%voting power it is only about $0.02

Before June 20th, every upvote deducts 0.5% from your voting power. After the changes with hardfork 19 though, it now decreases by 2% per vote. So recommended is 10 votes per day (which will take 20% off your voting power, and will allow it to be at 100% again after 24hours)

But again as @sykochica said, no hard rule about it.

[sykochica]

If you're at 80 percent or higher when you stop voting yes. If you're at zero, it'll take five days to fully Regen.

thanks :) you are the best

Hehe, np. And I'm a huge fan of a good chicken parmegian.

It only goes up by 20% every 24 hours. So you need to post 10 or less posts every 24 hours (i.e, 10 x 2% = 20%. That will top you back up to 100%. I've found the maths very confusing too! More coffee needed!

Good to know.
