I have been following all the back and forth about the blueprint cap, or glitch, or whatever, and I am still not sure we have it down right...

If I understand what has been hashed out to this point, we are being capped at a cumulative number of blueprints. This cap increases every day by 4500 (and later 9000). So I should be able to hand in projects until I reach the cap for the day, which I believe is 21000, but I have been capped at 17586.

Can anyone explain why I would be capped at that number? Just before I was capped, I handed in a ~2000 BP project, I have not received a daily bonus of 5000 yet, and I have not rushed anything with donuts.

It is a running cume.... including any Overage you may have had the day before. So...if you did what I did, which was Two of the BIG ones (2K+) and a substantial one (1K+) in this order... 2K..1K (got my daily bonus for two completed...but stayed under the 4500 cap), then another 2k+ to finish out...it is going to penalize me tomorrow the difference. So...tomorrow, my cap is going to be 4,500 LESS the overage I had today.

The key to keeping your sanity, is going to keep hitting as close to the 4500...just over...or barely under...and you will be good the next day. I know. Complicated. But, it is the only thing that makes sense for the huge range of numbers that are being reported as "cut off" limits.
