There is much to be figured out if you are new on Hive. It is worth the effort though. Your voting power recharges daily, you can check https://beeme.icu/?account=recording-box to see how long it will be until you are back to 100%. If you have more Hive Power your voting power will increase. Your vote value also fluctuates with the market value of HIVE.
Thank you by the way! I just followed you.
Yeah, I try to keep my voting mana (or voting power I guess) above 80-85%, but my vote value at 100%, expressed in HP, gets smaller and smaller.
My 100% vote used to be valued at 0.11 HP a few weeks ago, now it's 0.007HP even though I've powered up all my earnings + STEEM I've sold from my Steem power down.
I was under the impression it's because my account is not growing as fast as other HIVE accounts.
It's because the price of HIVE has decreased in the last few days. It will go back up if the price goes up. So the amount of HIVE your vote is worth isn't really changing, it's the fiat equivalent value that is going up and down.
