This question already has an answer here:  I reached the
reputation cap yesterday towards the end of the SO day. However,
before the day lapsed, the answer (which caused the rep to cap,
though I don't think that's relevant) was accepted, causing
another 15 points to accumulate. By that time, I had hit the
cap, but I still got those 15 points, making my total for that
day 215.  You can see my profile here.  Is this intended, or a
bug in the cap system?  share|improve this question Accepted
answers and bounties are immune to the reputation cap –  Nick

down vote accepted  Reputation cap rules:    • Accepted answers
are never susceptible to the reputation cap (no matter when in
the day they are received).   • Bounties may exceed the
reputation cap since apparently they are also immune.
